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.

Went there for over five years and am nothing but happy with my experiences with him. He and his staff are very nice and i only saw him once a year but he always remembered me and was very happy to see me. Overall happy he was my doctor.

This office is horribly managed. I had my appointment rescheduled because they lost a provider 2 months ago? They should have planned that. I had to leave a message and it took 4 days to have them call me back, and then they said they’d have to call me back- never did. Went to my appointment and was told they were 1and a half hrs behind- they didn’t have the curtesy to call? Dropped this office like a bad habit
