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. Briggs is my favorite doctor! This is a huge compliment considering I HATE most doctors. Dr. Briggs is very thorough and takes the time to really explain why he chooses the care or procedures you need. He has a very warm bedside manner mixed with a dose of humor which makes me feel safe! He also recommended me to a surgeon whose care I am also under. He performed my salpingo oophorectomy and I had no post surgical issues other than the standard pain (minor). Incisions are healing well. I wish I could feel this way about all of my doctors. As a result of Dr. Briggs' care, I am now on a quest to change all of my doctors. I want to feel as good about them as I do about Dr. Briggs.

Extremely dissatisfied with the woman who handles the check ins I was turned away for being ten minutes late and wasn't told this until I sat in the waiting room for thirty min. She is a horrible addition to the staff and I am extremely disappointed in lack of professionalism. I will continue to advise friends, family', coworkers of my experience and other review sites as this is unacceptable especially in the health care field.
