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.

Felt judged and didn't care about my questions
She definitely wasn't busy and let me know she didn't do paps. She did examine me and suggested vaginal rejuvenation. She didn't want to waste anytime getting to know a little about me or my circumstances although she had no other patients. She was constantly walking away while I asked question. As far as her as a surgeon to do this procedure I still have not found reviews on that. Not that I'm going to waste my time allowing someone with such attitude touch me again let alone due any rejuvenation there!

I saw her once and I will never go back. She could care less about what I said and was only in the room for just a few minutes. She did not listen to me she over talked me on several occasions
