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 have been very sick & was referred to Dr. Averette for care & treatment. He saw me right away, did an EGD, & got me on the road to recover. He was kind & professional. He answered all my questions & never rushed me. I highly recommend him to anyone in need. I’ve been a nurse for 20 years so that’s saying something!
