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 have seen Dr Roach 2 times in ER, one time I was in very serious condition. I found him to be very knowledgeable and went to work on me immediately. He explained my condition, what the treatment was and called in a specialist that I continue seeing. I was in ICU and in isolation for 5 days, wasn’t aware of anything for almost 5 days. I give the highest recommendations.

Had to go to ER due chronic pelvis, abdominal, groin , back pain and Dr Roach was there. He spent 2 minutes when I was ready to leave. Didnt say anything. Very rude, unprofessional. He can't be a Doctor.

I feel like he didn't want to do anything for me. Like I was wasting his time. He only did a thorough check because I told him to. Otherwise he was going to send me home and do nothing.

Very Unprofessional person, he was very inappropriate with me as a patient., he lied repeatedly on my medical records and we have a lawyer looking into the laws that he broke by doing this. He purposely put false information into my medical record that caused my other physicians to be confused and unable to treat my heart issues properly. This man needs his license removed Zero stars is more like it...

I waited for 5 hours to be told the medicine I was explained to would be the only possible treatment for my resistant staph infection (which i have been dealing with for months) is not necessary because the site/abscess no longer "appeared" to be growing. But, I was told the bacteria could embed and get into my blood stream, so why did I not receive this medicine only administered intravenously that day regardless of the appearance (lacking reference)? Now i have to go back and hope I receive it
