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.

Doctors, don’t send your tests to this doctor’s practice or you’re going to have angry patients on your hands. My wife went to see an in-network doctor who sent her tests to this doctor’s “in network” Athens Regional Pathology who then then farmed the work out to an out-of-network physician and we got stuck with a $202 bill because of it. Sir, you are in-network and the owner of this office so YOU should have done the work. We have called and called but been able to speak to no one but billing and they don’t care. I have no choice but to pay this bill but my wife but what we can both do is give you 1 star reviews and warn others about this unethical situation. This is not how the in-network system is supposed to work. We will also do this for Drs Tench, Rogers, Bradley and Aleshire. I just wanted to let you know before we paid that your work is crushing our family during a pandemic.
