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.

Fast and friendly staff. Dr Knudsen and her resident were very knowledge and took good care of me.

Thorough, calm and empathetic.
I have really enjoyed working with Knudsen. I am very impressed by her ability to listen to all details and her initiative to perform physical examination while in the office. Very stoked to have found a health care provider that seems to listen so well without projecting personal anxiety or judgment. She is also very knowledgeable.
