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.

Horrible Doctor
I saw Dr. For Ron to obtain a weight loss medication. He just kept repeating that I “better have a good excuse” over and over again. He shamed me the entire appointment. I saw him later on when I was pregnant and he was rude and dismissive of all my questions and concerns. I have no idea why he is so well liked in the community. He is a terrible doctor, and just a rude person.

Dr. Bryson was my physician before having to retire early. Heartbreaking! Dr. Dorton has since provided top notch care as my physician by taking the time to know me as a patient. He’s never hurried, he’s kind and listens. I’m incredibly fortunate he was there to take over my gynecological needs along with other illnesses. In life, you need a good doctor and a good mechanic, I have an exceptional physician, still looking for that unicorn of a mechanic.....

I absolutely love Dr. Dorton. My little boy came a few weeks early and was delivered via c-section. Everything went so wonderfully it was like a dream. He has the best beside manner and is extremely kind and thorough.
