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.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Thompson?
Dr Thompson is a caring professional that listens to me. Now only online but still answers all my questions and works to improve my overall health. Because of Dr Thompson my kidney values have improved since i have been seeing him. He encourages me to eat better and does not rag on me for things I should be doing but are not. He encourages rather than discourages and I feel positive after appointments which is wonderful and very different from most providers.
