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.

Very Upsetting Appointment
Telehealth
She did not seem to have any empathy for my situation and at times it felt like she was shaming me for my struggles (body image, health struggles, etc.). At such a vulnerable moment, you do not want to hear someone say that somebody else's problems are worse, which is exactly what she did (suggesting she should be “talking to them instead”. Simply put, if you are sensitive of criticism of your issues and need somebody compassionate and sympathetic, find someone else! I was truly upset after our conversation.

Amazing doctor that actually listens
Telehealth
I have been to several doctors trying to find out my condition . I finally feel like I found a doctor that listens . Gives opinions and interacts with the patient. She has patience and empathy . I felt so angry with my previous doctors trying to rush me through the appointment and being robotic . This was totally the opposite and I recommend her to everyone needing an evaluation .
