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. Gaffney listens! Very compassionate treatments. He has helped me with tendonitis, arthritis and carpal tunnel. He did surgery on my ulna nerve with a 100% recovery. I have had no issues with getting an appointment within a day or two when in pain or urgent need. Deserves a 10 star rating.
