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.

In 2023, he performed surgery on my hernia
Since that time, I've had stomachaches, and it has gotten worse and worse. I've developed chronic constipation and difficulty with bowel movements. He's the worst doctor I've ever had! Shame on you!

My doctor was exceptional in all ways. His communication, clarity and options provided together with answers to my questions helped me make decisions I am comfortable with. Dr Wachi is a true asset to the VM Medical team. Dr Wachi reminds me of a young Dr [...], my first doctor at VM, and whose immediate actions saved my wife's life.
