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.

If I am asked for a referral, I would be happy to give it.

She?s professional, knowledgeable and pleasant. One of her staff members was rude and unprofessional. Staff member interrupted my exam to tell the Dr. that there were other people waiting.

Competent, judicious, informed. Listens well. Appears to be flexible in her assessments. That is, she does not take a one-size-fits-all approach to health.
