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.

Irresponsible and Dangerously Negligent . .
He requested my previous medical record, then didn't read it, the dose of Pain medicine I was taking front and center on the last page of my record. He cut my dose in HALF, with no gradual titration, and then when I had to go to the ER, where I was prescribed morphine because my pain and suffering was life-threatening, he abruptly discharged from his practice, NO PAIN MEDICINE WHATSOEVER to allow me to function, find alternative PCP/medical care. On top of that he wouldn't release my 15-years worth of medical records/history, with significant data on injuries, illness.

A once truly great & caring physician has succumbed to the pressure of Surdy Hospital and it's overwhelming greed and need to increase cash flow. First they install a new computer system and lose half the patients records. Then they coax the finer doctors in their area to give up their private practices and join "their team" Yeah, limited 10 minute visits are now the rule. As a result we lose both ways. I am currently searching for a new provider and will never use the Sturdy Platform.

Terrible doctor. I may even contact the medical board. He was on call for my doctors office and I’m currently trying to wean off of Cymbalta which my primary never should have prescribed for me especially with having body dysmorphic disorder. This doctor basically was useless. I described the side effects I was having and he basically said to just take more Cymbalta and that it was 11pm and he had other patients to call. He also stated I should consult a psychiatrist. I’m on these meds for fibromyalgia. He is an incompetent doctor with zero bedside manner. These are the doctors who should no longer be in practice. I miss Dr. Pleasants. He is the only doctor that actually cares about people and patients. These other doctors are in it for the money and treat patients terrible.

I?m sad to say that I feel he just does not care as much as he used to. Seems to be Nickle and dimming his patents on the bills and always recommending new high priced medicines opposed to my usual generics to make those commissions from the drug companies. I had some issue?s for almost a year and was told it had been many different things, only to have the pain increase until I had to go to the hospital due stones that should have easily been found
