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. Paxson has been my primary care physician since 2000. He is an excellent physician who actually listens and cares about his patients. Great at diagnosing any problems and doesn't hesitate to send you to a specialist if he thinks it is necessary. He is a very down to earth person who shows great empathy. Always takes the time to thoroughly explain everything.

I was a patient of Dr.Paxson for over 20 years. I have good insurance, but because of my eye problems it is very expensive. I cant go to him now because of the additional cost. He is a excellent Doctor.
