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. Scher was recommended by our pediatrician. After raving about him, I decided to follow my daughter’s pediatrician recommendation. It was easy to make an appointment and the wait was short to see him. No drive by visit with Dr. Scher During the visit, he was clear, concise and very thorough. My daughter was able to tell me the recommendations after the visit which is a first.
