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.

One word: Hubris. Had been attending regular check ups with Dr Alvarez, concerned about a rash that had developed around my midsection. He brushed it off as a skin condition (i.e. eczema) when, upon further consultation with another Doctor, it was confirmed to be cancer. At this point it was too late. Every single consultation, he dismissed concerns stating that he was an expert and that he knew what cancer looked like. Sadly, he was completely wrong.
