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.

This Women is a disgrace to the field of medicine. When she could not figure out a diagnosis for a child's condition her statement was "it must be abuse". After a year of total hell stemming from her misdiagnosis it was determined not abuse. But during this year CPS took the children from parents while "they investigated". One women's opinion should never pull this much sway, especially when they are incompetent. It's a shame that Loma Linda, which is a great organization, has tied themselves to her. I am 1000% for advocacy of abused children, but realize the grief and pain you cause with a misguided opinion.
