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. Cassar is a rarity in the medical field. I was experiencing horrific stomach pain, and a plethora of stomach problems. Within one visit with him, he listened he asked questions. He was kind, compassionate. I felt safe in this environment. Due to having many medical issues. He was absolutely wonderful in caring for me me. He immediately had a solution. Which intern has allowed me to live without excruciating pain. I would recommend him to anyone. I have recommended him highly. He has an extraordinary bedside manner. His staff and office are magnificent. I do not know this man other than being his patient as I know many other doctors may have people they know write reviews. I am again just a patient who was desperate to be relieved of pain. And Dr. Cassar offered that. Thank you Dr. Cassar for going above and beyond. I am so grateful there are still doctors out there like him.

It is such a rarity to find a doctor that not only excels in his performance and abilities but also in his bedside manner. He truly cares about his patients. It is almost as if he has remained immune to the inevitable numbness and detachment that often becomes the fate of many doctors. He removed a large polyp during what should have been an uneventful colonoscopy (based on my age). I just received the news that I am cancer free and that it was removed in time! I owe it all to him:)
