Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My husband was hospitalized recently at TGMH under the care of Dr. James Principe. We were both highly impressed by the quality of care provided by Dr. Principe and the entire nursing staff. Dr. Principe took time to listen, explain my husband’s condition and carefully answer all our questions. We were visiting from another state and requested follow-up paperwork to complete a travel insurance claim. Dr. Principe and his staff were very professional and considerate to complete the required forms in a timely manner.
