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.

Established care for my 84 year old mother and it was a great experience. Very thorough and took the time to review her chart. Bedside manner was warm and friendly. Did not feel rushed at all and made sure we had a plan and no further questions/concerns before we left. Highly recommend.

Great environment and friendly staff. Difficult to obtain prescriptions when needed/sick. Did not feel adequate care given each time I left.
