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. Chen and her team literally saved my life. They are the best in oncological OB/GYN treatment and care. Everyone on her team was empathetic, gentle, caring, and, most importantly responsive. I felt informed every step of the way and participated in the decision-making.

Dr. Chen and her staff were all very helpful and welcoming to me. They asked me questions and explained things to me very clearly. Dr. Chen took plenty of time to be sure I was comfortable with all the steps and decisions being made. Her examinations were quick and caring. I feel very fortunate to have been able to have my surgery with her and her staff.
