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.

Direct, helpful, knowledgeable
Dr. Besson is very direct but is very thorough knowledgeable and helps me make proper decisions. Has taken extra time to answer any questions I have and goes over both positive and negative aspects of the diagnosis he doesn’t pull punches, but he also isn’t harsh. I truly appreciate the direct nature that he has.

We’ve used him many years. Too many mishaps with him and his staff so we go elsewhere. True he’s not in this conversation to defend but just find out for yourself. I’m tired of the lack of compassion and misdiagnosis. Good bye.

The only positive thing I can say about Dr. Besson is that my interactions with him helped me become a better clinician. Simply by not acting like him I treat my patients better.
