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.

Not very accommodating
I saw dr chen for a small rash on my back that I haven’t been able to get rid of for over a year. He prescribed me a steroid cream and said it should clear up in a week, which surprised me that it would be that easy, but I believed him and was happy. I used it for 3 weeks and it actually seemed to get worse and more itchy. I used my chart to message him about it and sent update photos. I said phone calls are not convenient for me, since I had been having issues with a glitchy phone, and asked if he could just message me on my chart and let me know if there were any other options. I guess he refused to message me, I never once heard from him, only the nurse, who told me I would have to make an appt and come in again. I work 3 jobs and don’t have a car, it took me months to finally make the first appointment. If I have to pay to go in just to have it looked at again, I’m going to a different doctor. Very frustrating and not accommodating at all
