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.

Was told the appointment was at 1230. It was really at 1. The staff needed that time for paperwork. Why couldn't they let us mail it in? It's now been 2 hours and still waiting. This is not going well. I'm sure the doctor is competent, but ai wouldn't know. We never had the chance to see him.

Dr. Field is very knowledgeable and very professional. He is very thorough. He took time to review my medical records and then made preliminary diagnosis. He then ordered further tests to confirm the diagnosis and then ordered treatment. I have nothing but utmost praise and respect for Dr. Field and would recommend him to anyone. I am just as impressed with all of his staff also. They have exhibited total respect and professionalism with all of my dealings with this office. Thank you.

Dr Field was extremely rude and had no bedside manner. I came in on a referral to find out if I might have EDS, and he was abrasive, rude, and actually told me I was wasting his time before he sent me on my way. My interaction with him was maybe 3 minutes, but it was the most painful 3 minutes I have ever had in a doctor's office. He doe not deserve to practice medicine with his attitude toward patients who are only seeing answers and help.

I have been a patient for 15 years with a rare disease. I had been to several doctors before seeing Dr. Field. He diagnosed my condition within minutes and then confirmed with testing. He is thoughtful, caring and very knowledgeable. I would recommend him in a minute.

I have been a patient of Dr. Field's for about 20 years. He has always been very caring and concerned about each individual patient. He does not push you to do treatments you do not feel comfortable about. But he does give you options for treatments that are available.

Dr. Field is one of the best doctors I know. It is our pleasure to have him as our son's doctor. If he retires, we may have to move out of the city!!!
