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.

Worst doctor I've ever seen
This 'doctor' mansplained to me that every issue I was having related to the fact that I was overweight. He would not do extra tests to insure I did not have a blood clot despite having a HISTORY of blood clots and SYMPTOMS of blood clots because he said 'you just need to exercise.' I have PCOS and have struggled with my weight for years. I understand that I need to lose weight and certainly don't need someone denying me tests that are needed due to my history because I have extra weight on me. He even mentioned that his wife had recently had a baby and lost the weight she put on so certainly I could too. I will NEVER go back to this doctor. This was the worst healthcare experience I have ever had.
