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 took my grandfather to this doctor and he did not listen to my grandfather's issues, gave no insight into what was causing his syndromes, refused to do further testing about my grandfather's conditions. He wants patients in and out without actually treating them. He talked down to my grandfather as if he were a child.

I saw Dr.Perez 15 years ago when I was sure I had lung cancer. I had been a smoker for many years. My x-ray showed lesions in my lung and I had been advised to see a thoracic surgeon. I saw Dr. Perez instead, who assured me that I did not have cancer and he began to fine tune me to the point that I was remarkably improved. Dr. Perez gave me back my life. I gave up cigarettes and now at age 81 I am still farming.
