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.

She changed my life in a way that changed the immense fear that I had of getting MAT treatment for opiate addiction. She comforted me & essentially held my hand after DCS got involved after I'd just given birth to my premature baby boy. She was amazing. I would love to have her as a physician and definitely want to let her know what she's done for me. My situation is a little different because I was living in Yuma at the time and she was there temporarily as the acting medical provider at our clinic. Now that I live in Tucson, I would love to have her as my Dr.

She's great. I have come to trust her opinion more than any other doctor I have ever met, and I'm dealing with doctors all the time for a variety of problems. She is a very broad thinker and able to comprehend the delicate nature of unusual situations and offer comprehensive advice.
