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.

Beware before seeing this doctor
Factory like office - doctor spent 2 minutes with me - claim submitted as medical and I had considerable out-of-pocket charges which I paid. Then 3 months later started receiving bills for another $30!!! Never going here again - still trying to resolve this with my insurance company and its August!

I have been a patient of Dr Liva for over 30, originally starting with his father. I have been very satisfied with his care, although the front desk staff can be a little friendlier and perhaps smile once in while.
