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 helpful
In 2015 Dr. Ekaney diagnosed an infection and appropriate medication to treat it after I had been in the hospital for 2 weeks with a serious lung infection and the other doctors’ treatments were not working. Recently my urologist had same problem. Mystery UTI and basically said did not know what antibiotic to prescribe. Said I needed to see Infectious disease doctor for help. I went back to Dr. Ekaney. She recognized the bacteria I had from my lab tests and said there were 3 antibiotics that would work! We discussed my history of antibiotic side effects. Based on that, she chose an antibiotic. I have completed the treatment and had no side effects. Also, a recent lab test shows the infection is cleared. Dr. Ekaney is amazing. I found her easy to talk to and she is very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her if you need to see an Infectious Disease doctor.

Dr. Ekaney has always been very courteous and caring about my health. She always encouraged me to keep up the good work. Any questions I had regarding HIV that wasn’t related to my condition she always took time to answer.

Dr. Ekaney would rather talk over you and interrupt you than actually listen. If you asked a question or disagreed with her assumptions because she wasn't basing them in your story, but instead, her knowledge base, she got visibly irritated. When she finally allowed a full story to come out, only then did she appear concerned and actually started to think about things. In the end it was a waste of time as nothing came from this appt. Avoid at all costs even if you are a 100% textbook case.

I have been ill for 5 months and was referred to her office by another doctor. She did nothing and did not even answer my questions as to what I could do to feel better. My assumption was that she would do some sort of testing because I have 5 different autoimmune diseases. It was a total waste of my time and my husbands who took the day off to take me! I will be finding another infectious disease doctor soon.

This was the most unprecedented waste of time I have ever experienced with a health care profesional. In my opinion doctors like this lack professional ethics and integrity to work as a health care provider.
