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.

Excellent Surgeon.
It has been been two months since my mom's car accident and she is doing fantastic!! At 90 years old she was in a terrible car accident which led to multiple broken ribs, puncture and collapsed lung and a hematoma. Although it wasn't looking good for someone her age and multiple underlying issues, the surgery went fantastic. I truly believe it was from Dr. Ferguson and the staff at a Blake Hospital. She is still in a rehabilitation center with the best care and improving weekly. They have her up and walking! Thank you Dr. Ferguson!
