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.

Dr. Fisher went above and beyond to familiarize himself with my child's medical history. He took time to address developmental concerns that I presented, and offered to see him sooner than would be typically recommended.

I can't believe he's a doctor. Has no sympathy for children. Should have chose to work with dead people because that's the type of empathy he shows.

Lack of empathy, child vomiting 48 hrs seen by md for and ear infections, and gave him worse antibiotic for vomiting, anti emetic need to be changed did not work, Did not return calls, clerk rude. Unable to give sufficient fluids to 7 year old with autism. Clerical staff giving medical advice. Recipe medicine without proper reassessment. Indifference coldness does not project competence, just hiding incompetence so you won't feel comfortable and ask questions. Took 10 hrs before got help.
