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 have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Conkling. He is thorough and informative. He was interested in my thoughts about my condition, which turned out to be a rare form of leukemia. After identifying this, he suggested that I get a second opinion from a major medical center, however, I was so impressed with his care that I declined that option. When I indicated that I was interested in doing alternative therapies, he was supportive of my decision. He is genuinely caring.
