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.

Argumentative. No capassion.
This woman is argumentative and has no compassion whatsoever. After telling her I felt horrible ( body aches, fever, vomiting. Shortness of breath, stomach pains etc.) , she has the audacity to say to me, well I’m Looking at you and you look fine. She’s completely clueless and got her degree out a Cracker Jack box. I would never see this woman again let alone recommend anyone to see her. Wasted 3 hours of my time with her and left with no explanation from her as to what’s going on with me. I suggested to do blood work. She says, “ what good would that do”? Just a complete idiot! Please don’t see this woman .

A very keen listener, makes me feel at home. Very confident, very serious but has a good sense of humour too. Takes time with patients and well never rush you.
