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.

At the age of 2 I started seeing dr. Jerath, I was definitely a mystery case. She was wonderful she was very great at communicating and having the urge to help find a good treatment plan for my RA. I’m 21 years old now and I couldn’t thank her enough for what she has done to help! She started a camp with kids with RA for a few days during the summer we could be normal kids and not worry about our illness!
