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.

Excellence in Dr. And her Nurses.
Dr. Melanie Smith has been my PCP for 19 years now and I trust her explicitly. She listens to her patient and explains her diagnosis in terms her patients understands. Her nurses Audra and Diana are excellent! They are very warm and caring. I love them and Dr. Smith so much that I would never consider seeing another Dr.

Dr. M. Smith is the best. Very attentive, actually listens to what you have to say and doesn’t just rush in and out of the room in 1 minute. Very knowledgeable. Best decision I ever made was switching to her for my primary care.
