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.

Unprofessional
Both my parents are Dr. Sensentaffar’s patients. My father is 86 years old and suffers from dementia. He caused two car accidents in two years, in which both family cars were totalled, causing great physical, emotional and financial hardship not just to himself, but to my mother, myself and my siblings. Luckily no other drivers were injured in both accidents. Getting my dad to quit driving has been a huge battle for us. We finally got him to accept it, but then Dr. Sensentaffar, during my dad’s latest visit, had the audacity to suggest to my dad that he can get his canceled driver’s license reinstated. My mother became agitated at the office and was treated unprofessionally and uncaringly. Dr. Sensentaffar had NO RIGHT to delve into family issues that have nothing to do with my father’s physical or mental health. The result has been more family fights, more emotional toll on all of us, and more expensive travel to visit my parents.

It is evident that Dr. Sensintaffar cares, he takes the extra time to listen to my concerns and addresses them immediately. I never leave his office without a plan of action.

for the past two years his staff has refused to give me referral for operations and to see specialists after two times of being treated rudely once with fists in my face. I was told DC I would have no trouble again I got no referral to my specialist and I was told my ki DC net of should do my colonoscopy, yearly check up, mammogram and bone density tests as well as three shots I was behind on that my specialist noticed. I changed all they said was Doctors we are sorry we didn't fo good by you.

Still a little on the creepy side. Second time I felt uncomfortable with just him there and looking at something that was healing next to my private area. The spot was between my thigh and private area. I made sure this time to cover, hold my hand on my underwear, but he still tried to move my hand even though I told him it was fine and the spot was only on the side where you can already see it. He also didn’t have gloves on but after he tried to move my hand, he did get some gloves.
