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.

Dr. Papadopoulus was the most thorough and knowledgeable doctor I had been examined by when having a serious multi problem disorder. She did not leave one rock unturned in searching for what was , or was not, going on in my then very damaged body. As she continued she was very thorough in explaining every step she was doing with me And why she was doing it, and carefully considered and answered my many questions and ideas. I would, and have recommended her to those I truly care about. She is a superior doctor and person.

Best Rheumatologist & Caring Soul
I absolutely love my RA doctor. She's very kind a top notch Rheumatologist. She's a true patient advocate that I trust, and she's always friendly, caring, very respectful and responsive. I highly recommend her and feel blessed to have her as my doctor. My sed rate was over 100 with the doctor I had before her. I was in so much pain. It's 20-30 and I have more quality of life because of the treatments that I've been prescribed by her. She orders labs to rule out things to give me peace of mind and to make the most informed decisions about my healthcare. I trust her!
