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.

the worst I've ever seen. Did absolutely nothing for my fractured heel bone because I didn't have insurance. Very rude, waste of time. Didn't know the difference between a fracture and a sprain. Better off treating yourself, which is what hemade me do

This man was RUDE, UNCARING, doesn't listen, and thinks he knows what you want, even though you go in for something else. I was totally humiliated and felt demeaned by him. I wouldn't recommend this doctor to anyone.

Spent 5-10 minutes on review of my MIR ,asked does it hurt? Then said you need surgery! He was the rudest Dr I have ever seen! After surgery never talked to me! A week or so after surgery pain was over the top(7 or 8, on pain scale), after talking to office they called said I need a MIR(again)? They called back and said I have to much arthritis in my neck and can't help me (so why did he cut me?) I'm still in major pain and need a pain management Dr,the rest of my life!!!????????
