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.

Almost killed me. Went in for endoscopy. Nurse gave me inapsine for nausea separately because I insisted from other drug reactions, and then stood there while I stopped breathing and argued with the doctor about what was happening to me instead of assisting me. I struggled to sit up alone and then after a few minutes finally was able to get my breathing muscles to work and gasped for air. Fortunately it wore off after about 15 minutes and I could breath normally again-terrifying- I left

Dr. Hixson is in Lewiston, Idaho now and I am glad we have him. He is humble, sensitive to the patient, explains things thoroughly, and knows what he is talking about. This is one doctor who listens to and actually hears you. I wish he did surgeries, but he does procedures such as colonoscopies, and I trust his advice completely. From someone who has worked in the medical field for 40 years, that trust isn't given lightly. This is a good doctor.
