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.

Trustworthy
I very much appreciated Dr. Nugent not pressuring me into a surgical decision, but rather providing information based on his vast experience and allowing me time to think about what is best for me.

Way too cocky
This dr thinks he knows it all. He did not 1 time ask me what happened, how I was hurt, anything along those lines. He just told me by touching my arm what was wrong, injected me with cortisone and sent me on me way. I am so disappointed in this place. I heard good things, guess I just got ANOTHER one of THOSE drs. Seems to be a 'thing' now days.

Dr. Nugent is the best!
I was given the run around for over a year on my shoulder injury until I finally found Dr. Nugent. He knew right away what my issue was and the solutions to fix it. Finally after 1.5 years of dealing with this injury, I opted for surgery and finally have my life back! Thank you Dr. Nugent!
