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 called to schedule an appointment & VERIFIED that this doc could prescribe my medication (which was prescribed by previous physician, Im moving and need a new one). The office stated that he would. I had to verify bc it is a controlled substance & some doctors just dont want to deal with this. I drive an hour just for him to show up late & be very rude & say "I just don't prescribe this." I am about to run out of meds & said that I'd be in serious trouble. I asked for just 1 prescription refill bc it's super hard to get appointments with doctors right now because of COVID, & he said that he could not help me. Even though he legally could, he just didn't want to & clearly was carrying some sort of bias. I waited for this appointment when I could've gotten a doctor who could have helped me. Now I am screwed & he wouldn't even apologize that his office had confirmed that he could prescribe this while I was in TEARS. Some doctors really just in it for the money.
