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.

Did NOT listen to my past experiences with my condition, was more concerned about time of appoitment than addressing my health concerns. Made me feel his attitude was 'my way or highway'

Ego driven
Felt that doctor was easily annoyed when asked questions about “MY” health! Needs to know that it is not personal… it is a patients right to inquire!! Very disappointed!!

Great with our son
Established care with him for our 9-year-old son after his prior doctor left. He was great. Thorough, patient, great with kids. Would highly recommend.

Medical Gaslighting
The first appointment was hopeful, but from there I was told to wait out my post-COVID symptoms despite zero improvement being made. After one week of increasing HR readings and losing my ability to walk any distance among many other issues, I went to the ER to get a Pulmonology referral that this doctor refused. This doctor told me that because my labs were normal, he couldn’t do anything despite that I’m sure he knew that common practice for post-COVID Patients with symptoms and labs like mine was a Pulmonology referral. Later when asked to fill out my FMLA paperwork, he presented an option was would have increased my fatigue and other symptoms. His response was that we would have to end the appointment and he couldn’t fill the paperwork out. It wasn’t until I proposed another viable solution that he reluctantly resumed, but then submitted sloppy and mostly blank paperwork with sections that should have been filled in completely blank. This doctor can help healthy people. That’s it.
