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.
Great Doctor who knows what he’s doing.

7 min long encounter... took X-rays and provided input already well aware of. No room for talk or any exam. A practice that 11 years ago was about quality and great care has slipped into volume and we don’t care. Was given prescriptions that I cannot take and another PT script.
