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.

He was skeptical that my daughter needed hypothyroid medication at all even though I knew her symptoms were much better under her treatment. When I expressed concerns that her growth had slowed significantly and she was no longer on the growth chart, he was completely dismissive and refused to even consider testing for potential problems. Thankfully I listened to my intuition and pursued a second opinion. She has greatly improved with growth hormone therapy. Please look elsewhere for help.
