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.

This is the nicest, most personable surgeon I've ever met. He took care of both of my hands and I am seeing him soon for my shoulder.

I do not mind waiting to see him during my scheduled appointment time; I know he'll be spending as much time as I need with me too!
