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.

What stood out with visit was Dr. Joseph Tripp made the worst mistake of his life and the outcome from this horrible decision was the death of the patient. I hope and pray that he has a horrible rest of his life. He does not deserve to work and be responsible for another death.

Very rude. Did not listen to concern as to why my
On Tuesday March 25, 2025 , My dad went to the ER with an elevated BP and slurred speech. This doctor Trip refused when asked by my mother to do a CT scan or any other test to see if my dad had a stroke or what was going on. He was asked to please check this and he did not. Dr Trip said he was fine and this doctor discharged him and my dad passed away the very next day on March 26,, 2025. This man does not care at all about helping sick patients. Would not recommend him at all unless you want to die. He should be relieved from his duties immediately. We are currently planning a funeral for a man he discharged a day ago stating ….. he is fine. This is ridiculous.

Disrespect Doctor
This doctor doesn't like his job or his patience. On a visit to the ER, the nurse had to twist his arm to come talk to me. He gave me answers to my questions like, 'You need to talk to and schedule a follow-up with your PCP to find out the answers to those questions' and 'You probably have a virus the reason your white blood cell count is high'. He was impatient and left us with more questions than answers. I wouldn't recommend this doctor to anyone. If I could leave this doctor 0 stars I would.
