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 have been going to Dr. Walters for twenty years. I was married to a doctor and have the inside track on good and poor doctors, so believe me, he is the best! No doctor is more knowledgeable and he will take all the time in the world to explain options. The only downside is that he takes all the time in the world on all of his patients; therefore, expect to wait awhile.

I felt he was very thorough in assessing my prior health issues and gave recommendations on how to keep me healthy in the future. I'm very happy I found them!
