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.

I will NEVER, EVER, EVER go back to him or his brother, EVER! Implied I was seeking opiates, refused to treat my SIGNIFICANT pain from long term neuropathy... Should be ashamed of himself! IF I WAS seeking opiates, I definitely qualified to have them. Don't waste your time, risk humiliation, and make the significant effort chronically ill patients make to go see "specialists" in the first place. INHUMANE, at best, judgemental, rude, inconsiderate. Did I say never? NEVER, EVER again! NEVER! EVER!
