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. Prostko treated my mother as her hospitalist at Blount Memorial Hospital in March 2018. Despite lab work and a CT scan that stongly indicated Congestive Heart Failure, he sent her home with a diagnosis of pneumonia and a prescription for antibiotics. As her condition deteriorated over the next week, we called her family physician who, after looking at the exact same lab work and CT scan informed us that she had CHFand was incredulous that she had not been treated for it. Almost died.

I have seen Dr Prostko many times in the office and he has seen me in the hospital. He is caring, thorough and speaks to me with respect. I would recommend him. My whole family sees him. I'm not sure about those bad reviews, they do not sound like Dr Prostko. He has gone out of his way to help me.

Dr. Prostko does not take the welfare of his patients seriously. He is unresponsive, lazy and his behavior is unresponsive, negligent and alarmingly unprofessional. I would not recommend him to anyone.
