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.

My 2.5 year old has an ear infection so I made her a pediatric appointment in Porterville. I mentioned to them multiple times that she's a new patient, we're new to the area etc. They set her up to be seen the next afternoon. I get to her appointment and they inform me that insurance will likely not cover much, if any, of the visit. It will be mostly out of pocket. I'm confused because I have excellent insurance. But not worried about it if they will bill it to insurance, I'm sure it will all
