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. Zelson has been there for all 5 of my children. He takes great care and has amazing patience. Yes its hard at times to get appointments but thats at many other places as well. When ever there is an emergency we can get right in and see at least someone. Zelson also took care of my wife and her 3 siblings when they were kids, so trust and comfort has always been there. Sad to hear Zelson is retiring. He will be missed and his care has been much appreciated.
