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.

Pushes accutane aggressively. Lies and says antibiotics are more “harmful” than accutane. Said “well for bad skin like yours” twice to start her sentence. Refused everything I asked for but yet again pushed accutane. Wrote me three scripts of: birth control that I didn’t ask for, a solution and a cream that I told her multiple times didn’t work for me in the past. I find her mean and money hungry. Her goal was solely to make money, not to help me. I was nothing but a transaction in her eyes. Doctors get paid when they prescribe a patient accutane might I add, when I very sternly declined (many times) and brought up multiple valid points as to why; she didn’t like that. She didn’t like being challenged. She wanted her way and didn’t give a damn about my skin, my wants or concerns. What doctor says to their patient: “with bad skin like yours...” not once but TWICE. This doctor does not care about your health or what’s best for you. She cares about her money and it’s very apparent.
