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.

He only cares about treating my one condition, not about everything else going on with me that may affect it. He also does not advocate for patients; pretty much sits on his hands and watches their condition worsen. I would not recommend him to anyone; would give zero stars if I could.

I started going to Dr Sampson a few years ago and as far as I am concerned he saved me from going blind. I have a auto-immune problem and Dr Sampson took care of problem. He is kind and has great bedside manner, he listens to me and he does his best to take care of me. I receive excellent care. The staff is friendly and very timely in scheduling.

Condescending and rude. Discrediting my symptoms and previous diagnosis by other doctors. Contradicting everything I said when I was very open to his opinions and potential diagnosis. Would definitely not recommend.

I have RA and did not know what it was for a long time. I was treated by other doctors for a while. Had blood drawn and everything. Nobody ever figured it out. Finally got in to see Dr. Sampson, he figured it out withing the first visit. He got me started on the right medication that has changed my life. I would recommend him to anybody having problems with symptoms of some sort of an auto immune disease.

First of all, he is very kind and nice. I like him. I went to Dr Sampson for Fibromyalgia. He just seems clueless and used the phrase,”well, we can try this for a while and see what happens” a LOT. I went to him for years and never got any real help. I am sure he is fantastic at arthritis and lupus and other conditions. I just will never recommend him to anyone needing help with fibromyalgia. He seems to have no experience and it comes across as a guessing game with him.
