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.

My surgical experience with Dr. Morris was very positive. I found him to be very knowledgable with breast cancer issues. My studies were done in a timely manner and I had surgery within a week I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Dr. Morris is very caring as well. I would definitely see him again for my surgical needs.
