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.

Evergreen Park, IL – Oct 10, 2017
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Johnson?
She was very apathetic towards my concerns. She did a good job cheering me on during labor but then she just left and the nurse is the one who delivered the baby. She came in to stitch me up and I think she did a poor job. The stitches felt so tight and even now after a year and a half I feel pain. WHen I went to my postpartum visit, she just dismissed all my concerns. I was so miserable, I couldn't even walk and I think I was going through PPD, but she did not listen to my concerns.
