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.

Good doctor!
I love Dr Cracitas. Too bad that today I had appoitment with her and when I got at the office they told me that she’s not longer there! And they don’t know where she’s working now! I will really miss my doctor!

Be careful - listen to your body
My personal experience with this DR is be aware. My mother used to love seeing her, but the doctor would consistently not listen and dismiss her like she was crazy. Well come to find out, if she had only listened to her and sent her for tests earlier. Just maybe my mom would still be with us. She didn’t bother to listen the multiple times she complained about headaches, tiredness, vertigo and sometimes dizzy. She just kept saying, maybe you should try a healthy diet. Well DOC, she ended up with advanced stage of Brain cancer. Thanks for listening to her as she begged for you to send her for tests… cause something was WRONG!!!

I have been Dr. Caracitas' patient for 10 years and have followed her to three practices. I have recommended her to multiple people in my life including my sister in law, my best friend, and some other family members. She is an AMAZING doctor. Highly recommend to anyone.
