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 just wanted to say that I would not be where I am today had it not been for Dr Wiedower. He is such a gentle & kind Doctor & I am proud to have him as mine. From the first day that I started my weight loss journey, he helped me get on the road to recovery. He was straight up & honest with me & always gave me the facts. I appreciate his knowledge & insight & the way he always offers me guidance when I am in need of it. He takes the time to make sure you are properly educated & confident. : )
