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.

Compassionate and knowledgeable
Dr. Waila was absolutely amazing from the moment she entered the room. She put my daughter at ease and had a caring bedside manner with her! I can tell that she will not stop until she finds out what is wrong with my daughter. Highly recommend!

I LOVE Dr. Walia!! The world would be a better place if there were more like her. My three year old son has been battling recurring C. Diff since last July. We were overlooked and not taken seriously by other doctors. We finally saw her in September. She is truly one of a kind! Dr. Walia genuinely cares for her patients. She takes the time to listen, explain everything in great detail, every option for treatment and answer all questions. I have never felt rushed in the office. She has always been reachable and gone above and beyond when we need her. My son absolutely loves her and the staff, he gets excited for his appointments. If you are her patient you are not just another number, you are family! She is extremely knowledgeable. C.Diff is a very scary and life altering illness. Dr. Walia is the Cdiff Guru! I dont know how we could have gotten through this without her. I will forever be grateful for Dr walia
