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.

I love Dr. Eichel and his staff. They are responsive and show respect towards their patients, which I appreciate. Emails and phone calls are returned in a timely manner and they are very consistent with this. Dr. Eichel has a pleasant and kind manner and is caring and compassionate towards his patients. He listens to his patients' needs and is never condescending. I feel like he, as well as his staff truly care about their patients, which is refreshing!

It's been over a year (because I moved overseas), but Dr. Eichel was one of my favorite doctors. Smart, caring, focused on total health, etc. Highly recommend on all fronts!
