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.

Professional, friendly, knowledgeable
I couldn't ask for a better liver doctor. Dr. Cotler is top-notch. He's professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I always feel comfortable during visits. I never feel rushed, and he's always willing to answer questions. He and his nurse, Beverly, go out of their way to make sure everything is taken care and received for upcoming appointments. Dr. Cotler called me, personally, to follow-up for an appointment. I've never had a specialist take the time to call me.
