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. Sams is great! Professional but personal and caring. Takes time to answer and explain whatever the medical issue may be. Not only do I use him, both my daughters. He has been a part of our lives for years and I do highly recommend him.

I left my appointment yesterday, because of the LONG wait time in waiting room #2. I had other things to do. My time is valuable, too.
