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's a good doctor, but an example of everything that is wrong with healthcare today. My wife didn't get a choice which hospitalist saw her--he was it. He saw her about 5 minutes each day for 10 days. For that he charged typically $476 per visit--way above what was "reasonable and customary," and left us with a $2000 bill. That still comes out to $200 per 5 minutes. And we had no say in advance as to which doctor we wanted or what his fees would be. You can bet I am all in favor of socialized medicine.
