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.

Excellence. He has a level of excellence that makes me, as a person, try harder with my health. No wait time, excellent staff that work like clockwork. He has retired now, but for anyone to leave a nasty review is unbelievable.

Dr. Pennington shows bad bedside manners. He is rudely abrupt. A quality doctor takes his or her time with a patient.
