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.

After many years of Drs. prescribing pain medication for my headaches, Dr. Lima got right into the root of the problem, and addressed my sinus problem. The horrible headaches I used to get for years are gone. I thank God for Dr Lima.

He is the worst doctor I have ever experienced in my life!!! He is very unpleasant. I went to his office in Totowa with a lower back work injury. I went there because of a work injury. His quick diagnosis was back spasms and stretching to get better. Well after this terrible visit, I went to a real doctor and was given an M.R.I. Turns out I have bulging and herniated discs in my back... Don't ever, ever, ever use him. He clearly does his job simply for a pay check.
