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.

Not helpful
The first appointment they took an X-ray of my feet and then he said he didn't really know what was causing the pain. He listed a few things it could be and told me to get a blood test for one thing that a quick Google search showed it definitely wasn't even similar to what I described. Then he gave me a boot. I told him I had tried one already and it didn’t help and I didn’t want to pay for one. He said it was covered by insurance. I again said I didn’t need it and he insisted, saying insurance would pay for it. So I took it. The second appointment I walked in, he asked how my feet were feeling. I said a bit better, and then he said good and come again in two weeks and that was it. A few weeks later I get a surprise bill for $200 for the boot! I was not happy at all since I had told him I didn’t even need one and didn’t want to pay for one.I canceled my next appointment. Not a good experience.
What went well
  • Appointment scheduling

  • Wait times
What could be improved
  • I didn't feel respected
