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.

Dr. Helms is a very excellent, thorough and caring provider! I worked with him for many years and I learned so much from him.

My husband & our 2 year old daughter have both seen Dr Helms at Transylvania ER r/t injuries. Each time Dr Helms was fast, courteous, kind, caring & explained things thoroughly! He is an incredible MD. I feel totally confident with him being my families & my provider with any kind of emergency care that I may need! He is truly an asset to TRH ED & Mission Health.

Dr. Helms was very kind, professional and extremely attentive to taking care of my husband when he went into the ER with a major gash on his arm. After 3 layers of stitches and 14 stapels and an extra trip to the ER for a slight infection, his arm has healed up and is doing great. We are so appreciative to Dr, Helms and in times of ER hope to see him again.
