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. Slaughter is more interested in doing new and exciting things versus doing what is best for the patient. He gives false hope telling you that you will go home when you will be hospital bound OR in an apartment across the street no further. The device that was required to leave the hospital was experimental and didn’t work. It being experimental was something he failed to mention prior to placing the artificial heart. As soon as things start going bad he gives up and will become very hard to get in touch with. He did have the courtesy to show up and recommend pulling the plug at the end of the year long hospital stay once his project failed. After an autopsy was performed it was determined the cause of death was contributed to hardening of lungs which he blamed on smoking. My dad had never smoked a day in his life it was that machine that should have been used as last resort ONLY.
