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.

Dr. Sankar is an excellent Neurologist and I credit him for giving my wife a new healthy life by diagnosing her condition perfectly. He is methodical, caring, and talks to the patient is frank and clear terms so the patient has all the options explained. I would recommend him to anyone who needs neurological advice. In addition his staff is excellent.
