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.

Very condescending doctor
Doctor speaks down to the patient, does not answer questions, and he does not listen. It’s only his way. The receptionists, nurses, and the doctor are all very curt. He is extremely condescending, the rooms are from the 1950s, and rooms do not appear to be very clean, so I will not return to this office.

Also, besides you completely lying about me eating/drinking in the exam room - if you don't want me to infringe upon the next patients time, try not walking into my appt 40 minutes late.

Front receptionist giving attitude when I didn’t have a hard copy of my insurance card, didn’t appreciate me matching her attitude. As the MA brings me back the MA turns around and I hear her tells the receptionist “oh she’s going to be one do those…” and I couldn’t hear the rest. When waiting I could hear the doctor attending to the patient next door and he had a genuine and positive attitude with him but when he entered the room with me totally different attitude. Pompous and like I was wasting his time. I came in for multiple issues and he had me pick which one was the most important one. Kept using language such as “we can wait for you to wander in here and help you”. It was a new patient visit and I had to ask him about regular health check up testing to which he offered AFTER. Oh yeah did mention the MA stopping to answer a text message during my intake with signs all over the office asking for phones to be turned off?
