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.

Best diagnostician and cardiologist . He listens to the patient and gives straight answers to any questions. His nurses and staff are great caring people. He is the reason I am alive today after a series of mistakes by other doctors. You can trust Dr. Follansbee to do what is right.
