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.

You see the smiling profile picture online but when you meet him, he never smiles. He comes across as judgmental, cold and disinterested in anything but BMI & BP, the basics. He made me feel like I was doing something wrong, like he thought I was a drug seeker. I thought overtime things would get better when he saw that I wasn't but it never got better. Every time I left that office I felt sick by the way I was treated. He never delved deeper into any health concerns only dealt with the basics.

VERY bad experiences. Dr. Ettinger spends approximately 7 mins out of 20 with me. He reads my blood work, tells me to lay off the sweets, + leaves. When he asks if I have pain, + I respond in the affirmative, he answers, " Well, u are 80 yrs old, you are going to have pain." Never asks what kind of pain, where, etc. Rude + abrupt. I won't go back to this Dr. No matter what they say.

Not especially interested in my well-being; it seems like any problems I expressed concerns with were met with indifference, unless I specifically stated what the problem might be. Only thing he ever cared about was my weight, but offered no solutions to my overeating besides "eat more vegetables"
