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. Valentino has been taking care of me since 2008. I have a rare recurring cancer. He has always explained results and options very thoroughly. He is never rushed when he is with me, always takes time to make sure I understand everything and answers any questions. He is absolutely wonderful.

In 2016, Dr. Valentino excised Hidradenocarcinoma and performed a left thyroidectomy. Then in February 2021, he excised a tumor and the left parotid gland. Another very rare cancer. He has such a gift, and the manner in which he closes an incision is unbelievable. He is a gifted physician.
