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.

Dr Pritsiolas is an amazing physician
Dr Pritsiolas is not only an amazing physician but an even better person. He extended my mother’s life. I will be forever grateful

Dr. Pritseolas was one of four doctors who saved my 33 yr old daughter's life last week. She was in heart, kidney and respiratory failure with no hope of surviving. He is so caring, gentle, smart and amazing.
