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.

One of the Best
Dr. Straughn is one of the kindest doctors I have seen. I have been seeing him for almost two years. He and his staff are so nice and caring. I'm proud I have him as my doctor. He takes his time and listens to my concerns. He and his staff are very informative. I have recommended him to several people and will continue to do so.

Dr. Straughn is the nicest doctor I have ever seen . He was informative, patient, and kind, and his staff was absolutely excellent as well. I left feeling like I had great information provided to me and like Dr. Straughn really cared about my well being and making a plan for treatment that I was comfortable with. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Straughn and am happy that he is going to be my doctor.
