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.

Dr Tess has been my Primary Dr for over 15 years - he's excellent

I have seen Dr. Tess for several years. His staff is friendly, and the shortest waiting time of all my other doctors. He is always spot on with his treatment also. I feel fortunate to have him as my primary Doctor. I feel better because of his treatment.
