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.

Health care, and wellness.
Exceptional with patients, intelligent and caring.

Dr. Arene personally is very concerned about her patients. When we had an issue with one of her employees, she took the time to reach out to us to address our concerns. Very personable.

Dr. Arene has cared for me and my wife for many years now. Her abilities as a physician are exceptional, and she will never give up on making you well again. Her staff is top notch, and she has been both my pain doctor and my primary care physician. We recommend her above any Dr. we've seen in over 10 years. We are both 77, and place our trust totally in her. She has earned that trust! You will not be sorry if you are fortunate enough to be treated by Dr. Arene.

I love Dr. Arene. Her bedside manner is second to none. She started treating me for severe back/leg/shoulder pain i suffered from accident in 2012. She's very attentive, and makes you feel as if you are her only patient when with her. I would and do HIGHLY recommend her.
