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.

I never write reviews, but I feel compelled to for this horrible excuse for a doctor. Horrible bedside manner, rushed appointment, inattentive. I have a difficult time believing any five star review for this doctor as he has t shown any ounce of compassion during my three visits. He gives doctors a bad name imo and I’ve dealt with plenty. His receptionist is nice though. But him? I urge you to choose another doctor if youre in any serious type of situation.

To be honest, I would not give this MD any stars if that was an option! Terrible experience with this MD in Garfield hospital. He barely looked at his patient in Garfield Medical Center. The only questions he asked about the patient were: "Why is she sleeping so much? Who is her DPOA agent? Do you have a place to send her?" He's the MD! What concern or care did he exhibit for his patient? He insisted on inserting a gastric feeding tube against the DPOA instructions of the patient and yelled at the DPOA agents: "you are going to make her starve to death?"
