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.

I last saw Dr. Should in 2010 for abdominal surgery. Because I have MRSA, he was especially watchful over my post-surgical recovery. He always took time to explain my progress & answer questions. When I was finally sent to learn how to perform my own wound care, he continued to see me to insure I continued to do well. He didn't release me from his care until the wound had completely healed. He's very caring & has a great "bedside" manner!!!

I had high hope for help from Dr. Gould. I have had continuous pain for months, and was referred to him for help. Dr Gould was only interested in ensuring that I knew he would not prescribe pain medication, and I would just have to live with the pain. SInce the problem didn't appear to have a surgical solution, he spent about 45 seconds examining me, and the rest of the visit lecturing me about how I would just have to live with the pain and lack of sleep. I left in tears, totally crushed.
