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 is very professional, thorough, kind, and explains clearly the processes that are taking place. Dr. Has been wonderful to me the last eight years and I am going to miss him sincerely. I’ve had several emergency situations and he has had me come right in on his day off and meet me there to treat the situation. Thank you Dr for your kind care and respect. Earlene Burton
