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.

A wonderful Doctor
Visited Hospitality ER for severe cough and shortness of breath. Dr. Oakes and staff were amazingly friendly, attentive, profession, and helped me understand 100% of what was bothering me. 8 hours later and I am already feeling remarkably better. I always appreciate a doctor that TALKS to me so I understand my issues, and Dr. Oakes did that and then some.

Phenomenal Care
Dr. Oakes was very friendly, empathetic, and knowledgeable. She made sure I was comfortable and treating with care and respect. I would not hesitate to see her again! She is exactly the epitome of what all ER doctors should aspire to be! Thank you!

Excellent treatment and attentive
My son and I visited Hospitality Health ER because we both had superficial dog bites on our arm/hands. It was a busy night for the ER because of Labor Day weekend in a tourist town. Dr. Oakes took care of us in a very timely manner, spent more time with us than she probably had available and answered all our question thoroughly even though some didn't have to do directly with our injuries. Her bedside manner was great, personable and not at all like an uninterested robot. I wish we could have a doctor like her at all visits.
