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.

Horrible Doctor
Telehealth
He's a horrible Doctor, he doesn't care about his patients well-being. He's clearly on there for money, he could care less about actually helping people. Worst experience I've ever had with a doctor.

Visit?
First visit, staff seemed helpful and friendly. Visit moved in a timely manner. Doctor seemed though in questioning previous history and any problems. Scheduled a follow-up. Only issue, medical records dropped off prior to visit had not been scanned into their system.
