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.

Best Doctor ever.

The best Dr. ever
Dr. Hugar is the epitome of what a good doctor should be. He is knowledgeable, caring, kind, efficient, and very available to his patients. He has been my doctor for more than 30 years and was also the doctor for my mother before she died. He was extremely helpful and kind about her dementia. He is irreplaceable, and we will miss him so much. We wish for him all good things in his retirement.
