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.

Through; she makes sure I understand.
I’m impressed with the pleasantness of the entire staff.

Dr Syed put me at ease right away. I was nervous about my health and she talked me through the process calmly and thoroughly. Her kind demeanor just made the situation the best it could be. Her nurse was great as well.
