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.

No calls, no call-backs impossible to get an appointment; don't waste your time

The worst medical office I have ever been to. They rarely answer the phone. If you leave a message, they. You have to beg them for test results, and they will say they haven't gotten them yet even after 2 weeks. You are at the mercy of the incompetent office staff that Jan treats like sorority sisters instead of listening to patient's complaints. Don't know how this place has stayed in business. This place doesn't care at all about their patient's
