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 really dont know how this person can be named a doctor, if you ever get seen by this guy in er, just run. My 1 year old baby had a 105.6 fever he didn’t even consider taking him in and just spoke to us in the hallway and kept saying it was a viral virus and wouldn’t even listen to our concerns and needs, this guy should be fired immediately he has no place like hospital or near people who needs help.
