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.

I should be able to leave a -5 star review
When he is called out on lab results from 4 months ago that he says were fine but clearly a lot of red numbers he shuts you down with any further questions, talks over you and will not let you finish a sentence. He then states he is to busy for it. He is not my Dr, but I would go to my dog's vet before I would see this sad excuse for a Dr
