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
Horrible bedside manner. I’ll make the drive somewhere else. I’d rather give birth anywhere else than under his care.

I had an irregular pap smear. He told me it was a fluke. He made me feel like I was overreacting. I now have High Risk HPV and precancerous cells. He did not take my case seriously and I now have to deal with the ramifications of not starting this process earlier.
