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.

She takes the time to listen. Makes extensive notes and makes sure that every need you have is covered before you walk out the door. She's not afraid to order test's and will work with you to find out a plan of treatment that works best for you. I have never felt so comfortable telling a doctor my problems as I have her.
