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.

Denied prescribing Lorazapam
He was rude, horrible bedside manner. My daughter had been diagnosed Epileptic since 8 years old, drug resistant epilepsy at 10. When later I called for refill of her meds he denied ever prescribing!! So I sent pharmacy history never went back again.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Barbosa?
Dr. Barbosa was unprepared to see my daughter, he didnt even pull her history. She seized for the first time and he had no idea that she had ever had a crainiotmy. Furthermore after having her get a mri he called to say she had no scar tissue and the seizures would probably not reoccur. Well he was wrong, she has been seizing since. I transferred her to a different numerologist who requested the MRI and the report clearly states scar tissue and the likely reason for seizing. He was unprepared!
