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.

He delivered my son in 2001. It was my first pregnancy and I didn’t know a lot. I feel he was very insensitive to my concerns. His comments before my son was induced for high risk reasons were the rudest words I’d ever heard from a doctor. When he visited me in the hospital during my induction he was once again insensitive and his comments and actions unbelievable. Luckily I delivered with a different doctor because it was after hours. Now after 3 children and tons of medical knowledge and experience with several doctors I feel this needs to be said. I’m in peri menopause and looking for a OB/Gyno for the next phase of my life and his name popped up on my insurance. While staying with Texas Healthcare I definitely picked a different doctor. Worst bedside manner I’ve experienced in 47 years.

Excellent. My daughter (whom he brought into this world) now is his patient too. The receptionist is outstanding. Nurses a slight lower about a 4. Too Stoic. Waiting time is no longer than 10-15 minutes and the magazines are good to read.I still have annual appointment with him and when I need to go see him for other' ailments.
