How we determine this score?
Every rating you see is the product of a two-step process that blends data
science with human clinical insight:
- Comprehensive review sweep We collect every publicly available patient review we can find—Google, Yelp, Healthgrades, ZocDoc, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, forums, and more. Duplicate or spam entries are filtered out, and each review is time-stamped so that newer feedback carries more weight.
-
13-factor sentiment analysis + expert audit
A custom language-model pipeline scores each review across the 13 dimensions
patients care about most:
Friendliness | Professionalism | Responsiveness | Accessibility | Clarity of Explanations | Willingness to Listen | Personalization of Treatment | Billing Transparency | Value | Recurring Praise | Recurring Complaints | Side-Effect Education | Diet/Nutrition GuidanceThe algorithm converts raw language into numerical sentiment, flags outliers, and spots consistent themes. Finally, a board-certified clinician reviews the automated output to ensure medical-grade accuracy and context.
The result is a single, easy-to-read satisfaction bar that reflects real
patient experience, not marketing copy. By combining transparent methodology,
physician oversight, and continuously updated data, we deliver a score you can
trust and that meets standards for authoritative health review content.
What people are saying
Thorough assessments lead to highly individualized hormone protocols rather than templated fixes. Providers translate labs into plain language, field every follow-up question, and stay reachable between visits; scheduling is quick and waits brief. Reported gains—higher energy, steadier mood, weight loss—make the clearly outlined fees feel reasonable. Apart from rare communication lapses, reviews cite no surprise charges or unmanaged side-effects, leaving overall value and clinical results rated high.
