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.

Always thoughtful and caring. Always very complete check of blood and anything that needs to be checked to determine what he needs to do to make you well.

The best doctor ever!Dr. Roche is a professional, compassionate, and nice expert with very high standards. In addition to his trustworthy diagnosis & treatment which makes me feel safe and comfortable, I appreciate his encouragement and support of adopting a healthy life style through book recommendations,exercise reminders,and even sharing his art. His wonderful office manager and staff are very much friendly and helpful. I am since 2008 his patient, and I would highly recommend his practice.

I have been a patient of Dr. Roche for years. He is thorough, knowledgeable and has great "bedside manner." I appreciate is his methodology. Prior to chit-chat, he always go through the same series of tests (joint pain, mobility, lab work review, etc.) and is meticulous about keeping notes. For instance, he has looked at my past history for reference ... In march, 2010 you were having pain in X, weight was Y, and your lab results were Z. Bonus points: he has a great sense of humor :)
