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.

Efficient and Thorough
Annual visit & checkup. Dr Godwin froze a new wart and removed a couple of skin tags, one of which was in a tricky position on my eyelid. But he quickly and efficiently dealt with everything and I'm good to go for another year!

Well-organized, thorough, and friendly doctor
Doctor Godwin is very well-organized. He and his staff are on top of things so your visit is straight to the point and they have good notes from previous visits. He is a friendly guy who treats patients with care and respect. My treatment for psoriasis has been successful so far. Highly recommend him.
