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.

He is a pathetic doctor. Stay away from him. He bullies his student doctors and also tries to bully his patients. He has no courtesy, empathy, and or patience. He is an ego maniac. STAY AWAY!!!

He was very resistant to giving me a speculum exam because I am "virginal." I let it go at first, but when he admitted he didn't really know what he was treating....I got more insistent about the speculum, because I wanted accuracy and clarity in my treatment. I kid you not, he said "well, I don't want you loosing your viriginity to a speculum." Are you kidding me??????? Yeah, he's an old dude and all, but like, you're a gynecologist. This man should not be near anyone's vagina.
