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.

Supposed Greatness
Everyone says he is so great but I always feel rushed. MyChart is a joke. I only got a response from him once and that was last year. Instead of being able to communicate within the portal, I have to keep paying co-pays and taking time off of work to get him to notice me. He's great at sending me off for tests but terrible at explaining the results. He suggests prescriptions and doesn't call them in. I've been suffering for two months. I'm seeking a new PCP.

I was not happy at all with his practice.
I waited years to be able to see this doctor. I finally was able to make an appointment. My first visit (for a physical) was rushed. Both doctor and nurse were hurried.

Great during appointment. Very thorough. After the appointment is another thing. I asked some questions thru the MyChart after test results came back and they still haven’t gotten answered. I guess they don’t matter. I won’t be going back.

Listens to my concerns and addresses them! Never makes me feel rush during my appointment. Calls if any of my blood work or test are not within normal limits to discuss our next step. I would not go to anyone else!!
