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.

Excellent doctor. always patient and listens to concerns. Highly recommend her and her staff..

Seriously she's the best. In. Out. Done. So easy. She won't send you for a loop. I've already recommended her to my best friend who's been having a hard time dealing with trying to find someone who will remove her tonsils for her. Cordes is well spoken, highly educated in her field. Getting your tonsils removed late in life is hard. But at least she made everything else easy.
