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.

I am dissatisfied with his bedside manner. I’ve seen him twice in the same week and is insistent on a diagnosis that is STI related after I told him that’s impossible. Didn’t run tests, didn’t try to investigate something he said he had no idea (other than a possible STI) what he was looking at. Said he knew what it wasn’t but didn’t even try to diagnose instead I was passed off to a surgeon consultation to call . During the second visit he did a collection for STI and referred me again to someone else for further evaluation. In all of 10 minutes looked said the exact same thing as before didn’t feel like I was being taken seriously and if he didn’t know what he was looking at why didn’t he get a consult from another person ? This time he prescribed pain medication. And it felt like he thought that was what I was after. Um no I wanted answers not pain medication. Call ahead before you go make sure he isn’t working you’re better off with a different doctor that actually cares.
