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 informative and listened to me thoroughly. I was quite pleased with his communication skills and the amount of time he gave me.

My father and I went to Dr. Luu Bao to discuss my father's pulmonary function because he has ALS and was concerned about his breathing. Dr. Bao was insensitive and ignorant. He told my father to quickly complete a DNR because he doesn't want to get "locked in" while he is on a ventilator, without the ability to communicate with his family. His comment also showed his lack of knowledge about technology because my father will use eye gaze and voice banking technology.
