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.

Saved my son’s life.
Dr Wilson never gave up on my son. All the other Dr’s states it was impossible for my son to live. We were treated with respect and when Dr Wilson saw my son the first visit after surgery. He rejoiced in how far my son had come. Wonderful man! Wonderful doctor. Thank you Dr Wilson. It has been 14 years.

Not engaged. Rushed. Did not explain anything. Offered no options other than a literally saying it would take a sledgehammer.
