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.

Visits are consistently efficiently handled. Dr Iskandar is outstanding and I trust him completely.

I would recommend anyone else
If I could give zero stars I would. I had to wait so long for my heart test that I ended up having an afib attack while waiting. I was told my heart problem would "go away" on it's own and received a conflicting diagnosis when I was already diagnosed with afib. He seemed very keen on pushing me out of the door very quickly and dismissing all of my symptoms because he felt I was "too young" to have any genuine disorder despite being confirmed through previous testing that I was experiencing signs of afib and also have genetic ties to heart attacks, heart conditions and strokes on both sides of my biological family which he brushed off promptly when I mentioned my concerns. He had his own agenda from the beginning of the appointment, and that was to dismiss me and my concerns. Communication with his office was nonexistent and left me feeling so uncomfortable and confused that I had to reschedule my test. Very disappointed.

  • I didn't feel respected

Scheduler and Nurse Kim refused to allow me to make an appointment to discuss my echocardiogram, regardless that the results upset me. Refused to allow me to see any doctor
