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 capable and super caring
We were referred to Dr Glasser because we suspected appendicitis. He wasn’t rushed, spent plenty of time at our consult. He ordered some tests and talked to us and looked at our daughter. Other doctors wanted to operate but he discovered an ovarian cyst, and felt it wasn’t necessary to operate. I felt that he was thorough and ethical.
