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.

VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!!! I made an appointment for both my parents for this doctor (i should've known from the start on the way they handled the call) my parents arrived 15 minutes late and when they arrived my parents were yelled at by the DOCTOR AND STAFF! They were extremely rude, I called and asked not see them because the doctor was upset for their 15 MINUTES TARDINESS and due to their attitude and OLGA just kept saying BYE BYE...VERY RUDE!! NEVER AGAIN!!
