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 have never been threatened by a doc office like this place. Though the doc was great the staff was the worst ever. I was told eather have 234$ cash In my hand or don’t show up. Not once but three times. She told me my insurance said my insurance said work comp was my primary and my main insurance was secondary. I tried to explain but she said, your are not listening eather you have cash in hand or don’t show up. I told the doc but nothing was done. I would not ever return .

Worse office i ever been, she couldn't speak English and the reports were confusing...She did wrong diagnosis and confused my PT's and OT's. They want your last penny and insurance money there is no care for you as a patient in this office....Thank god I found some good physician that I can work with and understand what he is talking about and her staff not being rude and send your bill like they suppose to and after insurance approve it.... Their office charge you and insurance....

I don't recommend this Dr and her office to anyone.When I went to her office for my hand and neck issue her diagnostic was completely wrong and confused the PT and OT that i went to and when she explained to me what her founding was I couldn't understand her English.her husband is her office accountant and he is charging extra money every time and when patients explained to their office that their insurance will be paying this he gets upset and want to charge patient ahead of times.

She was very professional, yet I felt like she cared about my experience with what she was doing to me. I was so worried about my procedure, but she made me comfortable, and all went very well.

Dr. Ma takes detailed notes, and made me feel that she really cared about getting to the root of an issue, and then offering the best solution for it. My primary doctor at the time is who referred me to Dr. Ma, and my current primary doctor highly recommends her. I trust Dr. Ma and am very grateful to have been referred to her.
