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.

Words cannot describe what an extraordinary physician Dr. Septer is. The same for Mindy (office manager) and staff. Personally, especially in the past, I have never been able to be fully honest with any of my health care providers because I was active in my addiction. After a few visits, I felt comfortable enough to share my story and Dr. Septer not only listened; he empathized with me. No judgement from him or anyone in the office. To sum up... Dr. Septer and his team saved my life.

Dr Septer is one of a kind! I've been a patient of his for over 5 years and he has helped me become a better person inside and out. The staff is extraordinary as well. I'm so grateful that I have them for my primary care needs.

I don't think I would ever see a God-fearing man like dr. septer treat a person the way he did me today he yelled at me like I was a dog I've been a patient of his for 6 or more years and I actually loved going there ever had a doctor as good as him I let my brother-in-law have his name and for some reason when he left there they start treating me bad today they tried to say I had oxycodone in my system I can't even take it cos it makes my throat close he has changed from best ever to nothing .
