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.

Actually takes time and cares about everyone
She takes time to listen, and generally cares about every one of her patients. She recognized I had a bad gallbladder and took action so that it didn't turn into an emergency, and I'll forever be grateful for that. It's been a while since I wasn't rushed in the appointment and throughly gone through every issue I had , she's a breath of fresh air and I'd reccommend her to anyone that's looking for that connection, I absolutely adore her and am thankful she's part of my team .

I love Dr Lydia. She is quick to give a detailed explanation of test results. Yet, she is reasonable in her approach to prescribing medications. She takes a healthy mind and body approach. She looks to treat the whole person, not prescribe a band aide approach.

Dr. Wallace told me several times that she had to limit my visit time to only 20 minutes. As a result, she only heard a small portion of my verified and complicated maladies. She made arbitrary and uneducated decisions and comments about my use of LEGAL medical marijuana for pain and anxiety. I was extremely disappointed that she could present as so nice and understanding, and then turn on me in such an unprofessional way.

Dr. Wallace is the best. She is thorough and has excellent follow-thru. She genuinely is interested in my well-being and was willing to prescribe when necessary and advise on OTC treatments. She treats the whole patient.
