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.

My pain management Dr. stopped taking my insurance and my previous G.P. stopped practicing. I went to Dr. Watkins in need of a referral to a new pain dr. and rx's until I could be seen. I brought all of my records to verify my condition, etc. Dr. walked in the room w/o even looking at my records, said I'm an rx addict, wrote a referral to rehab, said he won't exam me, and walked out. I was speechless. I've never been so unjustifiably treated with such contempt by anyone.
