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 King has been taking care of me for over 3 years, Following a diagnosis of breast cancer. She is kind and compassionate and seems to be up to date on the latest research and treatment options. Thankfully, under her care I am currently cancer free.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. King?
This doctor played a significant role in a mis-diagnosis of my advanced breast cancer while being cared for by the 96th Medical group at Eglin AFB. The last time I saw Dr. King, she looked at two lesions on my breast, looked me in the eyes and said those are not cancerous, they are too symmetrical. After being allowed to seek care off base, The same lesions were biopsied and found to be cancerous. If you receive cancer care from Dr. King PLEASE seek a second opinion. I have no options now.
