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.

Action Oriented Care
After having symptoms of endometriosis for 19 years and other doctors, Dr. Childs saw me quickly even though I was a new patient and expedited my care. He scheduled surgery ASAP and saved my life! I had suffered terribly for a couple of years with post menopausal bleeding, swelling, weight gain etc.
