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. Lillistol has been my doctor for 13 1/2 years, and I cannot imagine a better doctor who is more dedicated to do what he can for his patients. When other doctors turned me away because of my disability, Dr. Lillistol went all in, and has never judged me for the way I am, and even though my health is complex, he has never given up. I will forever be grateful to him for that, and I don’t think enough Thanks can express how much he and what he has done means to me!
