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.

She was our Dr. And just out of nowhere, she is gone. We were never even notified that she was leaving let alone that she was gone! I only found out because I was calling about an appointment I had and that's when I found out that she was gone! Very strange no explanation or anything, just up and left.. but we have a great Dr. Now Dr. Venkata Gonthina, wow what a difference in Drs. We didn't have to wait a hour to see her like we did with Shafer and she had no problem refilling prescriptions, for some reason Dr Shafer wouldn't refill prescriptions anymore.. we are very happy with Dr. Gonthina..
