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. Sopko was extremely patronizing and disrespectful throughout our visit. She was dismissive and often rude, and did not even consider our health concerns before dismissing us with no help whatsoever. She also minimized our concerns and generally had awful bedside manner. I would advise that no one with any serious medical issue see this doctor, as our experience was truly horrible.
