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.

Lacks Human Dimension of Patient Care
Dr. Kahl is up on the latest research about scleroderma, but lacks an ability to support patients beyond prescribed medication. Not only is it frustrating having to explain your story at each new appointment (for the rotating resident physicians), but she doesn't seem to be able to support her clients holistically with the impact of living with chronic health conditions, like scleroderma. When my symptoms didn't fit the scleroderma box exactly, she dismissed them and recommended I speak to my primary. Not someone I wanted on my health care team.
