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.

I was getting no where seeing other specialist. He performed my carpal tunnel surgery and I’ve never felt better. Scar is not visible because of where he placed the incision. I’m very grateful!

Saw this Dr when I was transferred in agony from an ER in the Adks to Schenectady, Easter weekend. He came in and said We'll treat your pain, make you comfortable. I have to leave for the holiday, when I come back we'll see what's going on. Against my wishes and staff, he patted my shoulder and left. Hospital couldn't control my pain, I was rushed to Alb Med who found a huge chunk of disc avulsed and logged in my spinal cord, I was rushed into emergncy surgery. Amazing, he actually billed me!
