Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

Dr. Lucas recently performed surgery on me and I couldn't be happier with the results. The surgery was a complete success and his expertise and knowledge was as good as I could hope for in a surgeon. His office staff was also a p[pleasure to work with and very helpful at all steps along the way.
