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.

This Dr. told me I should have used a wheelchair, as apparently my brisk limp to the exam room was hard on the Nurses. When I requested to have my bloodwork done in my hometown (driving is difficult) Dr. told me I could "modify my car to use hands only" My hands are deformed and I have difficulty turning my head. He asked me three times what year I got married, what year I got divorced, and how old my Son is. He made a joke when I showed him my gnarled hands. I found him condescending and nosey
