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.

I have been a patient of Dr. Eppes for over 35 years. In his younger years, he listened and cared about the patient's concerns. Over time, he became less interested in the patient and more interested in promoting his own agenda. He spends more time typing in his computer than listening and tends to argue when someone disagrees with him, even if they provide solid evidence. He needs to understand that the patient is the one experiencing symptoms and their words are worth hearing. It is past time for him to retire! Giving him one star may be too high.

Like most physicians, a poor listener. Said I could not tolerate statins, and he kept saying do this or do that. Plus looked up info on statins and they do not extend you life, but only a few days.

Capable Dr but relies too much on tests and expensive drugs. In 5 years never performed a physical in traditional sense. Refers to others medical for exams and these usually end up costing big bucks. Evangelical Republican that sometimes lets personal feelings intrude.
