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.

Dr. Ro has been my primary care physician since 2014. She cares me in a friendly, professional, and caring way. I recommend Dr. Ro to my friend and family.

Dr. Ro practices with a high level of medical knowledge, seasoned by years of practical experience, and delivered to her patients in a compassionate, caring way. Through the UNC MyChart system, she makes herself available for direct communication in off hours; she is highly responsive.

Dr. Ro reminded me of the old-fashioned male doctors from my childhood. She had no interest in anything I attempted to say, and interrupted my every sentence. She had her mind made up prior to our appointment, and focused on forcing me to say what she wanted to hear to reinforce her bias.

Carrboro, NC – May 01, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Ro?
I went to a few times for different problems. On both occasions she prescribed something that a specialist later told me should never be prescribed in that situation, or ever, really. It just seemed like she did not pay enough attention and think about the problem I had, and I got referred to a specialist without much help from her. Both the OB-GYN and the dermatologist I went specifically told me to not continue to take what Dr. Ro had prescribed.

She is business-like and I assume, a competent doctor, but I had trouble getting her to listen to me or to discuss additional research I had read about.
