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.

I feel like he only sort of listened to me and my complaints about my knee. I felt a little like he dismissed me after hearing I have a history of back problems. I was about to beg for an MRI as I felt like the XRay wasn't enough...but thankfully he reluctantly ordered one. Now I have to wait a week to get the MRI results, which is a bit much if you ask me. Hopefully I'll get an answer soon as to why I'm in so much pain...
