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

What people are saying
Patients describe unhurried consults where labs are decoded in plain English and therapy is tailored to their numbers—never a template. Booking is straightforward, parking easy, and waits brief, keeping visits low-stress. Questions get prompt follow-ups, side-effect risks are covered early, and fees are spelled out before treatment, so billing rarely surprises. Most report higher energy, steadier mood, and weight shifts that justify the outlay, though a few flag sporadic scheduling hiccups and wish programs cost less.
