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.

My encounter was deeply unpleasant.
My encounter was deeply unpleasant. I wish I had participated in the survey because I would have rated it poorly. After experiencing assault, I was shocked to find the individual seemingly feigning injury upon arrival, using a crutch. To add insult to injury, they and their colleague shared a laugh at the end of the visit, revealing the pretense of their supposed injury and making mockery of my situation.

NOT STAR QUAILITY DOCTOR

This Dr. does not make me feel at ease with my health. She is egotistical about her years of experience and that she knows what she is doing, after me asking for other tests, which she denied, because she knows better. I think a patient knows their body better than the dr. She did not want to address my concerns and was totally rude. I pray for patients that are under her care. Please seek a doctor that shows compassion towards their patient. All I can say is 'KARMA' is not kind.

She doesn't listen to her patients, and she is rude. Actually the number of stars I would give her would be none!

Pretty sure she is more DEA than DR. Avoid. She cut off my meds. I have epilepsy. Told me if I really felt like I was going to die, I could could go to the ER was trying to find a new Primary in vacaville. No Way. I wasn't requesting tylenol but I wasn't requesting narcotics. Hippicratic oath is to serve patients. She does not. Explained myself, even asked for alternatives, to which I got a staunch NO because we all know there are no alternatives in pharmcalogy. Avoid her. She just sucks.
