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.

Changing doctors after 7 years
I have been seeing Dr. Deffenbaugh for seven years now. Every time I come in for an appointment, she barely even remembers what I’m therefore, and what my consistent issues are there has been several occasions where she wasn’t even aware of the certain medication she had prescribed for me and anytime I tried to call it takes the nurses days to respond and I also had a major weight loss issue due to a certain medication. She put me on that I was on for four years. and I had addressed my weight loss to her and the nurses and they never even acted like it was an issue until about three years later when I asked them to compare my weight from them to now and then they realized it was a problem. Very dissatisfied with my treatment throughout the years. I have been a patient of hers for a very long time and feel very upset about how I’ve been treated over the years. Definitely do not recommend her if you want a very personable doctor.

I have never has a Dr. treat me with more respect and caring than Dr. Deffenbaugh! Her Staff is equally caring and considerate. They answered every question I had and then asked me if I had any other concerns.....I was just there yesterday and have already recommended them and will be recommending them to anyone that needs someone to care for their special needs. Thanks so very much for being there! Lois Wilson

Dr. Deffenbaugh, on two separate occasions, found the answer to symptoms I was having. While related to women's health, they were more related to other specialties. She just knows so much about women's health and how the body systems work together, that she was able to send me to an appropriate specialist. Her warm, caring bedside manner has me feeling she cares about me as a person, also.
