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.

Wonderful goctor
I have seen Dr. Abkes multiple times over the past five years (including surgeries) and he has been wonderful. Caring, professional, nice sense of humor all describe him. He has my highest recommendation.

We loved Dr. Abkes when he treated our mom when she was 80. He put a tube in one ear, saw her as often as needed and even spotted a cancer on the crease of her nose no other doctor noticed! He did surgery on that! We were very thankful for his expert care the last 3 years of her life! Sometimes there was a wait to be seen, but we learned that was because of the excellent CARE provided and patients weren’t rushed through like cattle! So no complaints about that once we realized the reason.
