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.

He said there was no reason to bring my 9 month old into the ER when she had a severe case of the stomach virus and hadn't urinated for more than 8 hours. He said that she could go 2-3 days without urinating and be fine. That was a lie. She was hospitalized the next day at children's hospital and was very very sick to the point it affected her liver. He was annoyed that we were there and didn't even offer to give her fluids or do bloodwork to check her electrolytes or anything. She ended up needing 3 bags of fluids. Do not trust him with children.

He is honest, smart, efficient and tell it how it is. He does not waste heath care dollar and order tests that are necessary for the well-being of the patient. I would recommend him to all my family and friends.

Dr. Hwangpo is extremely rude, and both times I was treated by him he was not thorough at all, diagnosed me incorrectly both times and his treatment made me worse. One of those times he tried to intimidate me into leaving without treatment by threatening to perform tests that were extremely painful. He performed a spinal tap on me with no pain or numbing medications, and botched it so badly it damaged my sciatic nerve.
