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.

She doesn’t listen and not a great advocate for neither the patient or the caregiver. She keeps bringing her god into the conversation and actually preaches to you rather than talks like a professional doctor. More like that judgmental church lady than a doctor. That’s her overall vibe and it’s funny because she will also be pushy on no resuscitation for your loved one. I get the whole not wanting to prolong their life for their comfort but what if the patient DOES want to live? She was pushy in that regard and I don’t like how she talks down to patients. Pls seek a better healthcare provider. She is not in your corner.

Was unable to provide guidance or answer questions. She was unable to explain the difference between Alzheimer's and dementia--she said there wasnt really a difference... that really answered my question!
