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.

Agree with the above negative review. He discontinued PSA testing without discussing it with me. The result was a delay in detecting my aggressive prostate cancer. My Oncologist tells me that if I had not discovered this and insisted on testing I could likely be dead or at least have cancer throughout my body. He retired so I never had the opportunity to tell him what I thought of him. As they say "life is hard. then you die." But I didn't need his help in dying.

Didn't even shake my hand... Condescending. Wouldn't hear me out because he "went to school" and I didn't.. Felt like just another number to him.
