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 was so sad to hear he would be treating our vets! Sullivan is an arrogant, dismissive physician. After his student interviewed me, Sullivan walked in, sat down and before doing an exam, told me there was NOTHING he could do for me! He said there was no surgery, no injection, nothing. Fortunately, that was a LIE, or my life would have been over. There was PLENTY to do! He clearly struggles with patients who experience pain with their spine issues. He seems to think that if you're on pain medication, you shouldn't receive any other treatment, and just stay on your pain medications for the rest of your life. Thank God, I didn't accept his "opinion" and sought out a spine EXPERT, who was able to address AND TREAT my desiccated discs, herniated discs, etc. DO NOT give up as a result of Sullivan's apathetic and ill informed opinion. Get a professioinal opinion. The quality of your life does matter, regardless of Sullivan's disinterest in it.
