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.

I liked Dr Henderson , he listened to what I had to say , and he helped me with everything I was there to have done . Would like to see him every time I have an appointment there , Instead of a new doctor every single time I am there . Because there is absolutely no way of giving any form of decent care , if every single time I go there I am seeing a new and just starting out new doctor .
