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.

I saw her about a week ago in the Clinic and I had not seen her in 36 years. I recognized her and told her the story. Everyone told us he was going to die but she would not give up. I know this was a long time ago but we will never forget. She is not only a great professional but she is a great person and
