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 originally referred a lot of patients but in the last 2 weeks after numerous attempts to get my blood pressure prescription refilled with no luck, I finally made an appointment at another dr who ordered my refill. A 2 week lag in getting a prescription refilled for blood pressure meds is life threatening. It also raised my blood pressure being ignored. I did talk to people at the office with no luck.

I came to her with serious medical concerns. She only listened to the things she wanted to hear, put me through tests I didn't need, cost me pay at work, just to diagnose me with a simple and highly treatable condition. She then failed to treat me for it. She is lazy and does not carry any actual regard for her patients. She cost me my job with her incompetence. I'm suing. You should never ever go to her for anything.
