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.

It's always great to see her, she's always so kind and also cares very much about my health and explains information in a way that is understandable

I truly cannot say enough good about our experience with Dr. Sowinski as well as all the staff we encountered during our appointment. We received confirmation of a diagnosis during this appointment and Dr. Sowinski was incredibly kind, compassionate, and took the time to help us understand what this meant for our daughter and our family. Furthermore, given this condition is genetic they offered to (and did) test our other daughter for this condition on the spot. I truly have never experienced such amazing care and am thankful for the opportunity to share our experience.
