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.

For my little experience with Dr Lonnie, I can not provide any objective feedback However, Beware of surprise bills... I was is the office for a check-up on my wrist, the Dr. performed some ultrasound and the office did not inform me that I had to pay for anything, and I was under the impression that these services were included in the office visit cost. At no point I was informed that I had the responsibility to pay anything nor received an estimate for in office treatment, and after a couple of weeks the office sent me a bill. The office did neither inform me of the fee nor did they receive my consent over the cost. And not only that, the in-office treatment did not resolve my issue.

Superior to any hand surgeon in South OC.
Highly skilled, very patient oriented. Another practice had me do an entire surgical center experience which, for the same issue but different hand, Dr. Moskow performed in his office equally or more successfully.

Dismissive…
Rushed. Dismissive. Didn’t care about my privacy, door open the entirety of my visit with him. I do not feel comfortable going back, much less going through with a surgery done by him. I will continue my search for a caring, compassionate doctor.
