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. Rooney serves as my Oncologist. My initial meeting with her was wonderful. She made a sketch of each area regarding my cancer explaining what each one meant in medical terms and making certain that I understood in layman's terms. When I returned to my local doctor, he was quite impressed with what she had done and copied the paper for my local file. I appreciated her professionalism, her expertise, and her very personal bedside manner. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
