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’ve seen Dr Appel for almost 11 years as my nephrologist per and post transplant. He’s an exceptional doctor.

Dr. Appel greeted me with earnest interest and complete attention. He thoroughly consulted me with expertise and patience. Dr. Appel was extremely knowledgable and warm. I left with a clear understanding of my illness and confidence in the treatment plan that he prescribed. Although he is a world renowned doctor, he treated me like I was just as important as the notable people in his picture frames.
