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.

DO NOT RECOMMEND
This doctor is arrogant and has a terrible bedside manner. If you enjoy being talked down to and belittled then this is your guy. I can't believe that this amazing clinic would ever hire a doctor with his character. Also, has no problem talking about his patients in public in a demeaning way when they are not present to defend themselves.

Now willing to listen, I ended up walking out of appointment before it was over. This dr could take lesson's from his counterpartners who have some bedside manner. Never dismiss a mothers intuition. Here I am three weeks later having to have the test I requested, that he argued with me about, done due to my child being sick again.

He wouldn't sop talking about my weight. I went to get shots for school. Shots took about 4 minutes. I was in there for 1 hour and 30 minutes! Don't like him! I wish I could give him 0 stars.
