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.

By far the worst bedside manner I’ve ever seen, never calls you back, and is arrogant. My daughter was diagnosed w a life long virus which was heart breaking. At our first appt he didn’t even address us. Spoke directly to his interns and got upset when we told him he was either going to talk to us or we’d leave. His assistants only call you back when they can make money off of you. Two wks and still waiting on Handal to return our call. Don’t waste your time or money on this guy.
