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. Very distressing experience.
Dr. Sam Chia treated me poorly, yelled (while I was calm), disrespected & belittled me when discussing traumatic medical issue. Showed me no empathy, human decency or respect. Lied several times. He wrote in notes he checked extremities (when he did not) & that I refused to have a body part checked (he never asked). Also lied after I advocated for myself. He said I didnt show "mutual respect" (on the contrary I showed him respect for yrs while he showed me none). He disrespected me, then lied that I disrespected him. Poor diagnostic skills (Lab result outside normal; he said "doesnt matter". Elevated score & relevant symptms. But he intimidated & interrupted so=no discuss). Very distressing. Resulted in me avoiding Drs & referrals. I often left office shaking or crying without clarity on medcal issues. His office makes me feel distressed & my heart race. I was unable to obtain medical treatment for years as I became afraid of doctors. Avoid. Worst doctor ever. A nightmare.
