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.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Anyone that wants to know the truth about Dr. Gopalan and his unprofessionalism needs to read my book: TELL THE TRUTH…UNTIL THEY DON’T LIKE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY The Abridged Testimonial of a US Constitutional Oath-Taking US Department of State Survivor. Also needs to read my US Supreme Court case filings.

0 stars, he's so rude to my mom, does not let my mom talk to him at all. He charges the insurance company $250 for the full hour and barely talks to her for 20 minutes. My mom asked him a few questions and he asked her what her level of education. She humbly responded didn't finish high school and he responded by "then you don't much".

Dr. Gopalan doesn't care about you. He just wants to refill your meds and get to the next person as quickly as humanly possible. If people were machines he'd be a great mechanic, I imagine, but since we're not, expect his brusque attitude and nonexistent "bedside manner" to be of little service to you. If you are neurodivergent and struggle to advocate for yourself, I have to warn you that you will not find an advocate in him. You will be ignored. You will be overlooked.
