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. Afshar reached out to me after my mom had a fall and he offered to help me in anyway he could, even after my mom left the facility he worked in. He clarified any miscommunication between the facility and I in a heart beat. He talked to me about my mom's care and made sure I had all the information I needed before we ended our call. He also gave me an email and phone number where he could be reached anytime.
