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.

Problems - mostly with the other Staff Physicians
Appointments can be an adventure, due to 'changing' office days; without notifying the patients. The biggest issues are : poor listening skills; ignoring a patients' history when it comes to making a decision on treatment; not being professional and reasonable with regards to following 'benefits providers' requirements for quantities' when writing prescriptions !!!
What went well
  • Appointment wasn't rushed
What could be improved
  • I didn't feel respected
  • Difficult to schedule appointment
  • Didn't listen or answer questions
  • Didn't trust the provider's decisions

Horrible staff. No communication. Went twice and will never go again. Doctor isn't bad but his appointments are rushed because of how much they OVERBOOK (again, horrible staff). Wait time is also pretty bad.
