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.

Probably only time I've met with a doctor that has reaffirmed my concerns and felt listened to and not dismissed

The Doctor was great at explaining my medical situation and offered up several way to treat my condition. He asked what option sounded best to me. That was a refreshing experience. Together we discussed my options and WE came to a plan of treatment together.
