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 first visit and discussion of cancer with Dr. Wagner. His office staff were friendly and attentive. He clearly explains all details, he’s personal and methodical, gives notes, and listens intently. I have no doubt that he is providing the best course of treatment for my situation.

I have been calling to get my mom started on treatment. I was told the person that takes care of authorization for treatment would be in after 12:00pm. I waited for a call back and nothing. I called the next day first thing morning and was told AGAIN that the person that handles authorization for treatment wasn’t in and not sure what time she will be in. We got tired of waiting and decided to go see Dr. George Miranda.

- Wait times
