Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Esteem
What stood out in my visit is the after visit summary sent to my PCP . He wrote that I ' had a pretty significant psych history ' . First of all , it's not significant and secondly I went there for help with my shoulder … it wasn't relevant to include that in the report . Additionally , I had the impression that he did not wish to fix my shoulder because it wasn't painful , I still need functionality for it . Sent me to physical therapy , didn't have much else to say . I'll be seeking out a new doctor for my shoulder .

  • Appointment wasn't rushed

What could be improved
  • I didn't feel respected

Had Total Reverse shoulder replacement. I’m a daily and tournament playing pickleball player. With PT I was back on court in 3 months and back to pre surgery play in 7 months. Dr Lin is excellent.
