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 was dismissal of a symptom I feel need more attention. Last visit he didn't sit down he stood there like he was going to get the visit over quick, which it was over fast. Don't listen. Documentation wasn't accurate and when he corrected the error it still wasn't correct. I don't know if the longevity have him in a I don't care state, or he is just our of touch with healthcare. I feel that the Dr. needs to go back to school for bedside manner and Documentation.

Do Not Recommend
Doesnt listen and easily annoyed if you ask questions about why something is needed. Doesnt appear to even want to be in the room. His nurse is extremely rude and crude.
