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.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!
EXTREMELY RUDE MAN WITH ABSOLUTELY NO COMPASSION OR BEDSIDE MANNER. He talks down to patients and their families as if they are an issue for him. For him to be in a field that requires empathy, sympathy, compassion and grace, but doesn’t display ANY OF THEM AT ALL makes me sick to my stomach. He’s obnoxious and very cold hearted towards patients and their families. I’ve never experienced such an ill mannered individual in the medical field in my life. He’s so quick to give up on patients and tries to persuade the patients and families to do so as well. If he is on the list of rounds to see your loved one while in the hospital, I would urge you to have him removed. You’ll be doing your loved one, family and yourself a huge favor. Trust me!

Very unwilling to listen to patients family regarding care and wishes communicated to him. Unable to adjust his treatment based on wishes of patient, and unwilling to allow appropriate treatment of terminally diagnosed cancer patient, including pushing very strong sedatives and opiate medications on patient who requested to be clear headed and aware during last hours of life. Also refused to honor and acknowledge medical healthcare directive established by patient, despite legal documentation.
