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.

Dr. Parker was fabulous! He was professional yet patiently explained my problem in terms my husband and I could understand (even though I am a RN). I appreciated the fact he didn't assume I would know everything. I would definitely recommend him to others!!!!
