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 seen Dr. Gabel, when he was rotating at SE 14th St. Clinic in DM. I came in with chemical burn (due to a facial mask), knowing the exact minute it happened. He looked at my skin (10 seconds), googled my symptoms on his phone, them said I had rosea. I again said what transpired, he said the cream ordered would help.WRONG!!!. A 2nd opinion (dermatologist), it was Chemical burn & what he did made it 20X worse, skin damage for 6 weeks. He needs to stay off phone & listen to patients.
