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.

Nice, but Useless
A lovely woman. Very personal. Very tired. She knows so much about me from our talks. Everything except what's wrong with me. For that she keeps sending me to others or sending them to me. Still never figure out what's wrong with me. I'm considering keeping her. After all, she's my fifth primary in South Philly, and I can't find one who helps. Others weren't friendly or kind in their uselessness.

Horrible experience. She revealed confidential information without my consent. Also does not support diet change or exercise. Instead she constantly wants to prescibe psych meds. even though I told her diet and exercise was helping and completely removed pms.
