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.

The other day I went and I asked to get tested for EVERYTHING for me and my daughter! They tested us only for allergies when I know we are allergic to more then what he tested us for. And once I realized they didn't test us for everything I called because we were right downstairs and they were like will have to schedule again. I'm like this is your guys wrong I should have been asked to come back upstairs to finish the test. Not reschedule when people wait months just to see a basic allergist. This is ridiculous and uncalled for. Now we are both left unsolved. I have to find a new allergist. Worst experience ever! Was not worth the long WAIT for the appointment. But the front desk was wonderful! Not to mention the nurse was rough with my daughter when my daughter wasn't calming down so she can point out her back to me to show positive and negative. That old women hates her job. If you don't like it then quit. This is your job. She literally acted like it was a problem to answer any of

Always yawning, he didn't even look at the blood work results for my daughter. Luckily, there was nothing urgent, just serious, bit not life-threatening problem.
