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.

Too busy
The Dr really did not listen well. And was too busy in the E. Main office. She spent an average 3 or 4 minutes with me at each visit. I was ignored regarding suddenly I cannot see well out of left eye due to side affect of medication prescribed for non- visual ailment.
