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.

Refused Imaging
I was dismissed by this doctor for complaints of extreme stomach pain going down both legs. Because I didn’t have a fever and am the type of person to handle pain quietly, he ran some blood tests and sent me home. I told him I didn’t think going home was the right thing to do, but he said I was emotional and to just go home. As it turns out, I had cauda equina syndrome as an emergency condition of my autoimmune disorder. I went somewhere else, and he did literally nothing for me. Do NOT go to Providence ER.

I had a terrible cough in so much I would almost pass out. I have PTSD plus other nervous problems like Vocal Cord Dysfunction so I 911 to the ER and the last time was to go to Adventists but they said they could not take me as they were too busy so we went to Providence. The good Doctor Todd Buerk said "You do not want to be admitted here as we are full of very sick people". That seems reasonable to me now what. He said he would RX something which was HYDROMET and I got it and it worked. BTW I control PTSD with a lot of Vitamin B-6. 100 MG 2 @ a time am, pm & @ bed time > I have 100% V.A. Disability, unemployable
