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.

Great first visit
Dr Isaac and his nurse Becky were very thorough and friendly. I felt listened to and not rushed.

I enjoy Dr. Isaac very much. He has a very direct manner, is plain-spoken. He will disagree openly. But he's honest. I like that. I can hold my own with a doctor who sometimes disagrees or is not the most gentle. I have been his patient for many years and really 'love' the guy. If I want an honest opinion, I can call Dr. Isaac. He has always been friendly with me--but I don't mind open discussions and don't get anxious in a doctor's office.

He was the rudest doctor I have ever experienced. He didn't even ask me about any changes in symptoms since the last time I saw him or ask me how he was doing. He was rude, accusing, defensive, and didn’t care one bit about my health. I'm a kind, responsible, hard-working person. I have no idea what his problem is. I was visibly upset for being so sick and being treated this way, and he completely ignored that and made it worse.

Dr. Isaac tried using a trial and error process to treat my condition. When I brought up real concerns he told me they were a fluke. However, he did refer me to a doctor of a different specialty to determine the root cause of the issue. I had a biopsy completed by the doctor he referred me to and, since the new doctors specialty was in that particular body part, he gave me a treatment plan. Dr. Isaac was angry and told me he didn't expect the new doctor to treat me, only to diagnose me.

Dr Isaac is a very knowledgeable and professional Dr. with the kind of manor of a good friend. he has helped me through some pretty tough times. He has many resources at his disposal and will use them all to get the best diagnosis and care. Going on symptoms alone he did the right labs to find my diagnosis. We are still finding the correct path for care of my RA and Lupus. I trust him with my health and that says a lot.

He is very thorough and compassionate. He does not treat you like a file number, but as an individual. He explains things layman's terms.

Hands down worst doctor I have ever seen. Last time I saw him he didn't even examine me. He had my medical history wrong and had a terrible bedside manner. Transferring doctors ASAP. Very rude and ignorant.
