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.

Dr Handelman’s and his practice is very professional. He is a great Doctor and I am very confident with his decisions that he makes. He don’t sugar coat anything and he is honest straight to the point and confident. Dr Patricia Rau is another great Doctor at the Pratice!! She takes great time care and concern with her patients!

Dr. Handlesman has been my family physician for several years now. He is thorough and honest. This is the type of doctor anyone should want! He has you check in with him if you are sick or if he refers you to another doctor. He truly does take time for his patients.

Psycho doctors want you to see a gynecologist for back pain and leg pain. I cannot stand long periods of time without being put into the er for pain. I went there for a doctors note for a chair at work and this is the treatment I get. They set me up for a follow up that I was so traumatized I never showed up. I will never pay you a dime more. I’m a rape victim and don’t need a doctor forcing me to see one of those every 3 months. Sue you for malpractice.

Dr. Handelsman has been my family doctor since 1988. He was maintained for this many years because he has been exceptional diagnostic doctor and was much preferred as a physician because he NEVER gave a prescription to satisfy the patient. He only medicated when truly warranted. Over the years, he has saved my life at least five times Dr. Handelsman is also willing to make referrals when he feels it necessary. He is a terrific doctor in all respects, and one for whom I have the utmost respec
