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.
Very informative and useful.

Takes the time to understand the problems the patient is dealing with. Comes to logical conclusions.
Very knowledgeable and can express herself in a manner easy to understand. Actually sounds like she takes your issue seriously.

She was so warm hearted from the time she entered the room until we were ready to go. Also she took time to show me on amazon the best product to order for my son's treatment. I really appreciated that.

As someone who has spent most of his life with different chronic conditions, I’ve seen many doctors and many specialists. At Dr. Helfner’s office, I am a priority. Both the doctor and her nurses have been more attentive, patient, and helpful than anyone I’ve dealt with.
I was dealing with some really scary allergy related issues and they were careful and thorough with coming to a diagnosis. They were comforting throughout the whole process and made me feel like we were going to get to the bottom of it no matter what, and we did.
I couldn’t recommend this practice enough,

Was such a welcome change to not be rushed through an appointment. Dr. Helfner took her time to understand our concerns… all of us… two parents and her patient - our young child. She came up with a reasonable plan of action with thorough instruction combined with logic and rationale. We were confident in her direction and pleased that we were seen on time. Highly recommend.
