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.

Dr J. Cottone office visit
Personable and professional staff. I have been a patient of Dr Cottone for 22 years, and would never consider changing physicians! He was one of the doctors that replaced my cancered bladder with one constructed from my colon. Have had no problems, and I am forever in his debt!
