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.

Prescribes a concoction of drugs to my husband without considering or even noting the harm that can be caused when combining the drugs with each other and with alcohol abuse.

Had been experiencing a chronic condition for years, while seeking treatment at Prompt Care. Dr Schmidt took a look, asked why they were treating it the way they were, changed the treatment entirely, bringing it totally under control, for the first time in years, in a matter of days.
