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.

Dr. Cranston was my neurologist while I was a student at U of I between 1998 until 2003. He is a phenomenal physician with exceptional bedside manner, true compassion and understanding for his patients (including patients who may be more complicated). He truly cares to help you find effective treatment and ongoing supportive medical care. I really appreciated his compassion and trustworthiness at a time when I was still trying to understand my illness and disabilities. I highly recommend him
