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. Whealon was a pleasure to work with. He is professional and personable.

The whole experience was great. The only "bad" thing is that my appointiment was at 1:30 pm and I did not get seen till past 3 pm, sitting in the room waiting was a long time. I understand things could go wrong but waiting for more than an hour is too much BUT the service was great other than that. They did apologize for the wait. I was very pleased afterall with everything except the wait.

I'm not sure if I made a mistake when I was answering the yes or no questions, but everything is supposed to be extremely well. Everything was a definite yes. So if I made a mistake, they need to be put to definitely yes. And it was the most amazing and beautiful experience, and I appreciate everybody there. Thank you.

It was frustrating to be called to ask if I could come in earlier in the day (within an hour and a half range), then after arriving within that time, still waiting 30 minutes in the lobby before being taken back to a room. Otherwise, all was well.

The wait was a bit long. I understand medical care can be unpredictable but it was a little longer than I had hoped.
