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 bet for Palliative Care
Being referred to Dr Hurst and Afinity-Palliative Care, my entire “game plan” for fighting uHCC has changed. With their support, I know I’ll beat this cancer. These are the most GENUINELY caring and helpful medical pros I’ve met in a very long time. If you’re unfortunate enough to get a cancer diagnosis, even other than CCI, demand a referral to Afinity-Palliative. You will be glad you did. It makes the torturous treatment tolerable. Bless you all at Afinity-Palliative, you have truly given me an opportunity to live as long as possible without the pain and suffering that eleven (11) local doctors dismissed as “drug seeking”, which turned out to be Stage III Unresectable Hepatic Cellular Carcinoma. My deep and sincere thanks and respect to Dr Hurst, and all of the nurses that are in the field!
