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.

ER visit
Having extreme stomach pain for months on end to the point i am passing out. I went to the ER and Dr Ayres walks in and says it's probably endometriosis without even looking at anything. Takes my blood and says my white blood count is high and may be an infection. Takes a CT scan although I told her I was hesitant as I've had one since the pain had started. Comes back and says I look backed up and to take a laxative. Informed I was nervous it may be a prolapse of my intestine into my uterine wall. She said that's not a thing. It is! I asked her why I have a bulge coming out of my stomache and she said 'I couldn't tell you' peed in a cup on my way in that just sat on the counter and never tested. I started crying and told her I held off so long to even go in. She just said 'I'll give you a minute and they'll check you out' I tried the laxative I'm still in extreme pain. I called my doctor who told me to go to the ER but I can't because they won't do anything and I was charged $4000

Informed and Caring
This amazing woman helped me so much when I came into thr ER. She also explained that pain meds don't really help back pain, and the steroids and muscle relaxers made it so I could walk out of the ER when I had come in by ambulance because I couldn't walk. Thank you!! Keep being awesome, and I am sorry if I was overly emotional during my visit.
