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.

The staff is incompetent
Dr Gaines is competent however his staff is rude and unable to complete simple tasks. When a cardiac clearance is necessary for surgery, they are incapable of ensuring that it is completed in the promised amount of time. And when questioned as to why it was not completed, the nurse claims she “doesn’t remember”. You actually have to go pick up the paperwork that they were supposed to fax to the surgeon in order to ensure that they have done their jobs. It is completely unacceptable.
What went well

  • Explained conditions well
  • Appointment wasn't rushed

What could be improved
