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.

Mr. Weldon caused my L&I claim to close stating there was nothing wrong with me after 3 visits AND never did an assessment to qualify making that statement (Been on L&I over 13 years). On 3rd visit I requested an assessment and letter of limitations, his comment was "how am I supposed to that?" LOL, he claims to be an L&I approved doctor... how could he not?

My wife died of un-diagnosed liver cancer. Went back and forth to him for over 3 months. Her belly looked 5mo. pregnant, sever skin itching, constant nose bleeds. Told us blood test showed a problem with a liver enzyme level but not to worry. She ended up in emergency room and almost died there. Within 15 min doctor had put 2 units of blood in her and suspected liver prob. She had stage 3 liver cancer, to late to do anything. I brought her home to die. STAY AWAY FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY!!!!!!!!!!!
