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. Fountain is excellent.

During the last week of September,2017,into the beginning of the first week of October,2017,my daughter,Beryl Bellis had an 8 day sleep study at UVA's Neurology Epilepsy unit. During that entire 8 day stay,Dr. Fountain,my daughter's neurologist,NEVER came in to check on her.She developed a rsh from being put on an extra Vimpat at night. He said that was unlikely that Vimpat would do that. I,her dad,took her off the extra Vimpat. Rash Gone!! Dr. wrong!! Pass on the compassionate Dr. Fountain !!!
