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 had a palm tree thorn in my arm. ER was unable to remove it. This morning Dr. Bolivar successfully removed it (after it had made my life miserable for 5 weeks). HMO rules made things take longer than I would have liked. Thank you, Dr. Bolivar!
