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.

Dr Kalb
I am able to collaborate with Dr Kalb and her team on all of my health issues. She is a good listener, knowledgeable and she has good ideas.

I went in for an annual exam and was out in roughly 35-40 minutes. It was extremely efficient and I didn't spend significant amounts of time waiting. At the same time, I didn't feel rushed with the doctor. She asked multiple times if I had questions and answered all of my questions to my satisfaction. That was the most impressive annual exam I've had in my 50 plus years.

Her knowledge seems to be limited. She is not available because of family responsibilities. She totally missed the swollen lymph glands which were diagnosed as Non Hodgkin's lymphoma 5 months later. I regret not having an earlier diagnosis so treatment could begin but I trusted her. Wrong decision.
