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.

Simply amazing
I am absolutely thrilled to share my incredible experience at this remarkable facility! The doctor who attended to me was simply extraordinary. His compassion and warmth made me feel instantly at ease, as if we had been lifelong friends. It was truly an awe-inspiring encounter! The nursing staff, too, was exceptionally supportive and helpful. Their dedication and assistance surpassed anything I had ever encountered before. I sincerely hope that every healthcare facility adopts the same system utilized by this remarkable place. If more places could embody such qualities, people's perception of doctors and nursing staff would surely transform. My heartfelt gratitude goes out to you for completely revolutionizing my perspective on everything I thought I knew about healthcare professionals. Undoubtedly, there are incredible individuals in this world!With immense appreciation,Lavelle

He made me feel as if my medical issues were beneath his skills, and I was there only to waste his time; offered no options for treatment unless I "just liked to have surgery." Rushed through the visit; he spent approximately 10 minutes with me, then told me I could schedule a follow-up appointment if I wanted. The worst experience I've ever had at a doctor's appointment.

I saw Dr. Muizelaar at UC Davis while he was here in Sacramento. I have multiple aneurysms which he consulted with me about. It was the single best MD visit I have ever had in 60 plus year. He is straight-forward, kind, superbly skilled and talked with me as if he had all the time in the world. I walked out of his office astonished at his expertise and great "human" skills. I would fly across country to see him again if I neede a neurosurgeon.
