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.

Very rude
This MD is very dismissive and lacks bedside manners. He invalidated my concerns and flat out refused to give any referrals that would have eased my fears. He was quick to discharge me, didn’t even get past triage while I was expressing suicidal ideation verbatim. When I told about his lack of compassion he also blamed me and said “sorry YOU feel that way” instead of taking accountability. I am a nurse myself and I have never come across a healthcare provider treat his patients with very little respect and empathy. I am lucky to have had supportive friend with me otherwise I really would have ended up hurting myself that day bc of unexplained symptoms that hindered my life. He offered no explanation or solution to my problems. When I told him I felt as though he was just dismissing me he just stood there with his hands crossed and did not listen at all. I really hope he gets his karma one day. Cause that’s not a way to treat a human being expressing they are in agony. Worst doctor.

Rude, uncaring, & ineffective
Demeanor: Constantly spoke over me, did not look in my direction even once while talking to me, and walked away while I was mid-sentence. Efficacy: Did not offer any ideas, explanations, or diagnosis and yelled at me in frustration when I asked something he couldn’t answer. He was quick to discharge me in the same pain as I entered, with unexplainable abnormal lab work & enlarged organs. Very ineffective and by far the worst experience I have ever had with any doctor.
