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.

This doctor was straight forward and efficient and quickly had a plan of action to follow when I was afraid. I felt confident in his skills, experience, and recommendations of care. Thank you, Doc!

This horrible unprofessional lying idiot shouldn't have 5 stars, period. In 2009 i had to go to the ER because I had a migraine and was dizzy for days, this unprofessional fool walked in my room while I'm lying their crying and said rudely, " Haven't I seen you somewhere, don't I know you"? He acted as if he was a thug off the street, then he went into my record telling me the ER wasn't the place for me and many times I had been there in the past and test i had etc, completely ignoring the current issue at hand. I walked out to ask for another Doctor because I was being harassed by this idiot and he later after I complained lied in my Medical Record and stated I came in and demanded an MRI and was argumentative which I wasn't and I didn't demand anything because im not that way. An outside MRI had already been set up for me, I just was dizzy and sick for days and didn't know what was going on with my body he then went to his colleagues and bad mouthed me. He attacked me in 2012 to.
