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.

This guy seriously could care less about his patients. Had to get a CT scan done and received “results” in a matter of 2 minutes. There is no way he looked through every scan to try and find the culprit to my issue in less than 2 minutes. He seemed pretty upset for me even requesting a CT scan and responded “CT scan? For what?” Completely unprofessional and takes no time to explain. In and out in less than a minute.

Probably one of the worst doctors I've dealt with. Had him as my doctor at Hanover Hospital ER 2 nights in a row. Had sciatic pain to the point I was shaking and having shortness of breath. Sat in the waiting room for a total of 7 hours for him to see me for a total of less than 2 minutes. Both times his response was basically, "Yeah, you've got sciatic. Nothing I can do." And then just walk out of the room. Didn't acknowledge my wife, give me or her a chance to ask any questions, not even a "bye". Just walked out. Then when I get the bill, it's over $2,400 for the visits. Guy couldn't care less about his patients. Get them in, get them out, collect that check from the insurance company. Don't know how this guy has been a doctor for 33 years when he seems to care very little for anyone in his care. Even the ER nurse apologized for how poor his bedside manner was, and how little he seemed to care about my level of pain. Would give him negative starts if possible.
