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.

One of the WORSE doctors I’ve ever met
He’s a very unprofessional doctor who tries to bully their clients instead of helping. Wouldn’t recommend this doctor to my worse enemy so beware and choose a different doctor.

Dr joy used to be our Family Dr for 20 plus years when I had my second child he cared for her. He is missed very much by our family The Kleins. I did come to Santa Cruz a few times to see him. But I was told he was only on call now. We miss terribly. Thank you cheryl klein
