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.

The WORST doctor EVER!! The first thing he did was to flip on all the lights and say "hey since you're paying our electric bill you might as well get some use out of them ". I was appalled. No introduction, he never even touched or looked at our daughter, and immediately said "well there's nothing we can do for you here since she's not in organ failure and she's not having a heart attack, so take some Tylenol and go home." I'm reporting this jackass to the head of the hospital. HORRENDOUS DOCTO!

The worst experience with a so called Medical Professional in my life. Did not property address concerns voiced by me, husband or the Primary Care that sent us to the ER. Did not review procedure done by a PA to ensure it was adequate (wasn't) and managed to insult me and the Primary Care in the process. If he walks in to your ER room - demand to see someone else. You may very well end up back in the ER or the hospital as a result of having him "attend" to you in the ER.

One of 2 of the worst ER doctors we've ever seen. His bed-side manner was horrible. He couldn't even make in the room before he was saying what he needed to say and turning out to leave. Very rude, dry, and cut to the chase. No concern for your well-being. My thought is, if you want to be in this profession you shouldn't be so cold hearted. You are here to serve and be consoling, in which your were neither. You definitely do not belong here at CMC. ABSOLUTELY THE WORST DOCTOR EVER!

He was absolutely unconcerned and seemed perturbed my husband wasn't dying and in his emergency room. The first words out of his mouth was why are you here at 4 in the morning? Are you coughing up blood? As if we disturbed his aleep. Blew off my husband's BP which was 160/100.
