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.

This Doctor was one of the rudest and unethical men I have ever been to in this profession. When I missed an appointment he called be in in the middle of treatment for a serious illness screamed at me and waved his arms in my face and said he was dismissing me from his practice. He never let me say why I did not go for the test he wanted and never let me say anything. He is awful about over testing you and hates to be questioned about anything he says. He is arrogant and staff is rude.
