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.

Making the appointment was easy and fun! The ladies were so friendly and helpful-on the phone AND in person! I found the Dr to be very informative, and spoke to me without being condescending. I left with a comfortable feeling that I was understood and all my questions were answered. I’ve worked in the medical field and know how some doctors can be, Dr. Petterson is wonderful. I highly recommend him .

This guy and his wife are laughing all the way to the bank. They have zero ability to run a doctor's office in a courteous and timely manner. They have no interest in me as a patient either. For example, one day his wife couldn't remember if she'd come in my room to do my counseling session. As for him... He's just a frustrated (poor life choices?), arrogant old man with tremors and a gold ear stud who seems to enjoy talking down to me (I guess because I'm seeing him for addiction medicine).
