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.

Our son has been seeing Dr Mercola for 19 years. He is a wonderful Doctor and person. He is friendly, answers questions, asks questions, and is generally concerned about overall health of patient. Office staff are friendly and efficient. It is very easy to get appointments. Very accessible office and staff.
