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.

I wouldn’t feel comfortable allowing her to do my pelvic prolapse surgery. She doesn’t seem skilled enough and when I was concerned about the surgery affecting sex she said” you’re still interested in having sex?” I was only 43. Maybe sex isn’t important to her. Surgery has to fix the problem and not result in not being able to have or enjoy sex. She also just didn’t seem like she would do a good job. I can tell

Professional, prompt, caring, Always listens very helpful in making the right decisions for you. She knows her specialty and I had her as a gun for many years, was happy to have her back again. 20 plus years with her, that says a lot and I’d have her as my doctor for the next 20 if need be. A+++

She was my obstetrician many years ago and I recently saw her for incontinence her current specialty. She is a great listener, talks to you not at you, accepts patient input, and is very respectful. She is on top of new treatments and options, explains her choices clearly, takes into account your preferences. Highly recommend her.
