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

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
Patients report prompt scheduling, clear communication, and individualized hormone or weight-management plans built from thorough lab work and ongoing dialogue. Consultations are unrushed; providers explain options, risks, and follow-up steps in everyday terms and adjust dosages as progress dictates. Most see meaningful gains—better energy, weight control, and overall vitality—at prices disclosed in advance, though lack of insurance coverage and occasional appointment delays can temper enthusiasm.
