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.

She has been my Primary Care Doctor for 6 years. I have nothing but positive to say about her. I have many emerging health issues and she has always taken a proactive approach and referred me to a good specialist, I am moving out of the Bay Area to Rocklin in 6 weeks. She has worked at getting me referrals for new Doctors in that area.

Dr. Falkenburg has been my doctor for over 20 years. I am grateful for having been able to have her as a physician. She is very supportive and listens to my needs. I can't understand the negative review. She has always been there for referrals and any other assistance I have required. It is sometimes hard to get a quick appointment because she's so popular, but to me it is worth the wait.

Dr. Falkenburg has been my family practitioner for many years. Not only is she an excellent and skilled doctor she is also the most supportive doctor I have ever come in contact with. She listens to, considers and responds to observations I have about my health. When needed, she refers me to a specialist without hesitation. I feel blessed to have such an intelligent and empathetic doctor.

She is simply the worst family care provider of all time. She fails to organize proper exam dates, fails to understand a patient's needs, and she also fails to even show empathy towards patients. DO NOT CHOOSE HER, and if you have GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN.

  • Difficult to schedule appointment
  • Didn't listen or answer questions
  • Didn't explain conditions well
  • Staff wasn't friendly
