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.

Caring, helpful doctor
Dr Whalen was professional, thorough and eligible. He took time to explain everything. And also took time to get to know me as a person.it was very easy to schedule an appointment with him. I felt I wasn’t very good hands and I recommend him.
