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.

Dr.Ofstead has been my PCP for over 20 years, and she has consistently provided a very high level of diagnostic and treatment skills. She is exceptionally intelligent, yet very approachable, easy to connect with and trust. There is a sense with Dr. Ofstead that she genuinely cares for her patients, and strives to provide state-of-the-art protocols to investigate symptoms until an accurate diagnosis is reached. Dr. Ofstead refers to other specialists when indicated and she follows up on them.
