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.

Today I traveled well over an hour to see a OA doctor as I was told many amazing things by others about the level of care Spectrum Healthcare Partners provides. After being efficiently checked into their Ortho Walk - In Clinic OrthoAccess I was nothing but completely satisfied by Dr. Burns. He listened, communicated, and explained everything in great detail that all can understand. He even had a PA follow up on informing of the test results at 10pm at night, scheduled follow up, and a game plan.
