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.

Everything very good!

Dr. Whitaker was professional, yet understanding with my concerns about my breast cancer. She was empathetic and answered my questions so I could understand them.

She met me where I'm at by assessing how much I understood about my situation and repeatedly emphasized this is a personal decision so I left feeling empowered.
