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.

She’s excellent.
Dr. Drinkard thinks well, communicates well.

Dr. Drinkard is my dream doctor—excellent credentials, attentive, interested, super intelligent and treats me like a partner in my own care. She is clear, supportive, everything I could ask for in a doctor. I am lucky to be her patient.
