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 met Dr. Rakoff before and after hip replacement surgery, not in his office, though I spoke by phone with him the day before surgery. He was very empathetic and kind. Dr. Rakoff explained every detail of the anesthesia both before and after my surgery. He is an excellent and compassionate doctor.
