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 Eklund does not let you leave his office until you fully understand EVERYTHING. He puts it in terms I can understand.

I would highly recommend Dr. Eklund for treatment of a blood cancer. He is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. Calls and emails are returned or answered promptly. Dr. Eklund takes the time to address all of your questions and concerns. I feel like he cares about me and takes my specific situation into account more than other doctors I have seen.
