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.

I FINALLY reviewed my doctor
Dr. Wightman is a fantastic physician who takes the time to understand and treat patients. I have never felt rushed with her visits and I know she’s run behind because of this. As part of a family medicine practice, I understand that I can always see a doctor right away, it just may not be Dr. Wightman. With that said, I can always get in touch with Dr. Wightman. I trust Dr. Wightman’s approach to medicine and wellness without reservation. I have been her patient for over 20 years and find her caring and knowledgeable.

She is narrow minded, medically incorrect, and self-centered, not willing to listen to her patient. I will definitely recommend others stay away from her, for their own sakes.

Dr. Whitman is the kind of doctor who spends time with her patients listens what they have to say. She is caring and non- judgemental. It is worth being put o her waiting list.

Horrible. Long standing patient cannot schedule a sick/acute visit any sooner than 1.5 months from now. Receptionist says that there is no availability AT ALL for annual well-visits. This is irresponsible, plain and simple. Acute conditions, possibly requiring timely antibiotics will go untreated.
