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!
Dr. Reid is the best doctor I have ever gone to. She listens and genuinely cares about her patients. She has a great doctor to patient relationship quality. Sometimes, God uses doctors in our healing process and I am soooo glad He uses her in mine!

Highly Recommend
Very thankful for Dr. Read! She now works at OneMedical in Madison, by the way. I've seen her there twice, and my husband has seen her a few more times than I have. I have never had to wait at this facility. She takes care to listen to what I am saying and help me understand the science behind what is going on with me medically. She's very responsive to messages and calls as well, and is very friendly and caring. I've recommended her to many people looking for a PCP, and will continue to do so because she has provided me and my family spectacular care.

Dr. Reed was out of the office for over a month due to health issues. I received a phone call from a nurse that Dr. Reed asked her to call me to see if I needed refills. I said yes and they said come pick them up Monday. They were no where to be found and I was referred to see the Dr. Across the hall but they wouldn't prescribe my prescriptions. I had signed a contract that I would only get them from her but I started having seizures and had to go somewhere else to get my meds. I was discharged from the practice because of this. She would not even talk to me. I guess she has too much going on to take care of her patients.
