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 instantly felt safe when I met her. She was very down to earth and compassionate and I instantly trusted whatever she advised me to do

Dr Scalfani was recommended to me when I was diagnosed with breast cancer by a friend and my OB/GYN. I also got a second opinion from another surgeon but immediately felt great confidence in Dr Scalfani. Dr Scalfani is just an incredible surgeon and an awesome person. Her medical staff is so professional and made everything so easy for me. I HIGHLY recommend them
