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.

Did not like this Dr's attitude at all. I waited well over an hour to be seen and spent not even 10 minutes with him and was sent on my way. My Dr. had wrote down notes in computer as to what he wanted done. Instead of looking at the notes he asks me so what does Dr. X want to do. Could have cared less about my pain. Told me to take Motrin and Tylenol and use Lidocaine then I was discharged. What a waste of time. Dr. X called me next morning to see what happened and I said absolutely nothing.
