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.

He’s sometimes defensive when I ask questions. I am very self aware of my chronic conditions and would appreciate more patience when I have concerns or questions.

Does not go over test results even when serious
Does not help me understand my medical test results or my medical conditions and laughs dismissively when i try to initiate discussion of medical concerns. I feel he does not respect me as a person. Every other doctor I have seen in the past treats my diseases seriously. I am an established patient. Sadly I now lack in courage to tell him the symptoms that worries me…

You are able to ask any question that concerns you. He gives excellent advice and excellent referrals should you need them. He has empathy for his patients and you never feel rushed in the appointment.

In Personal Care
I’ve been a patient for many years. Unfortunately, I feel like I should probably look for a new provider. The care seems very cookie-cutter and rarely does he ask any clarifying questions regarding health concerns. I’ve had certain concerns dismissed, and others where I was even told it was silly and unnecessary to be concerned about. I know that he does care to provide health care but it’s clear to me that it’s not personal care. Not saying that he’s not a good doctor however, I don’t think he expresses much empathy. It’s like he’s become immune to what others unique situation‘s are . I feel like he could do more to make the care feel personal and crafted to the individuals needs. I do also understand that he seen it all and heard it all which may be why he seems dismissive. Also, while in the lobby I was speaking with a man who had medical power of attorney over his mother and wanted to have a quick conversation. He was told by the lobby staff that it was not billable, sad…
