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.

Careless, negligent, refused to take responsibility for his totally wrong and harmful aftercare instructions resulting in infection, delayed healing, larger scar, more time and money to consult others due to his mistake. He ignored reality and his own eyes to give me instructions that don't make sense and actively harmed me. Standard protocol takes precedence over common sense and reality when dispensing medical advice. His advice was akin to him stamping out a fire and then giving you instructions to pour gasoline on it. Didn't blink an eye as he issued instructions that would make things much worse. "I'm sorry you feel that way" is his idea of responsibility. I retorted it's not about feelings, but the fact he was negligent. When pressed for an explanation for his carelessness, he acted like a sullen teen and gave me the silent treatment! Worst of the worst, careless on autopilot, childish, cowardly, and a bad doctor that directly caused harm to health by his negligence. AVOID!
