Every score on DoctorList is built from public, checkable facts. Paying for a listing improves the profile — never the ranking.
Every point is sourced from something independently checkable. Nothing on this page can be purchased.
License status, years in practice, board certification, recognized leadership.
Aggregate reviews from Google, Healthgrades, Yelp — never self-hosted testimonials.
Accepting patients, real appointment availability, published pricing.
The only pillar a paid claim touches — because it helps patients, not because it's paid.

The KPOV appearance is independently verifiable — it's a third-party community radio segment, not self-published. The e-book and podcast host credits are confirmed via the practice's own site; the textbook contributions are sourced from affiliated-clinic bios and not yet cross-checked against the original publications directly.
