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.

Best doctor ever. I have been seeing Dr Rushing for nearly 20 years. Would never change that.

Very professional and helpful. He gave me the best physical exam I've ever had. Straightforward with information. It helps that he's even older than myself. I don't like going to young doctors. They've been taught what to think instead of how to think. Older guys have more experience and patience.

Dr. Rushing is the best Doctor EVER!! He has been my Doctor for 20 years; he is amazing and understands medical issues to a depth that I have not found with other Doctors. He is thorough and patient. He explains the condition AND often the medicine he is prescribing - how it works and when it will be most effective (as to time of day to take it). He truly is a walking medical encyclopedia. Dr. Rushing is kind and encouraging and makes his patients feel welcome and cared for.
