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 already have changed doctors and am very pleased with my new internist. The physician assistant made me cry on two occasions and this should never happen at a doctors office. Phone calls not returned, office staff was caught in several lies and there is no follow up. I feel this is a very incompetent office.

We have been with Dr. Ellena for many years and really like the time he takes with us and his followup after hospital stays. If you at Missouri Baptist, he checks on you every day and sees that you get the proper care.
