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.

Seeing him left me with a feeling of a good wast on time. I went in to urgent care almost in tears from shoulder pain unable to move my neck fully or lift my arm. I had very little sleep from the night before due to my pain that had been shooting from my neck into my shoulder. After a 45min wait after being checked in and placed into a room, he came in for all of 5min looked more at me then my issue. Quickly evaluated my issue , told me I pulled a muscle , nothing more before leaving. Shortly after a nurse came in and gave me a shot and told me I had prescription at pharmacy. It was Ibuprofen which I can’t take due to other medical issues. This doctor is the worst person I’ve ever seen I think. He showed no regard for my issues as if I was wasting his time. Basically sent me home with aspirin and band-Aid to drink tap water. I’ve had no sleep due to my pain, unable to move my head or arm without pain. Going back to the hospital today.

Avoid this doctor and staff at all cost!!! If you value your health and that of your family do not seek any medical assistance from this doctor, staff and firm! The staff will not return your phone calls no matter how urgent your medical condition is. blatant ineptness, lack of intelligence, incompetence, lack of compassion, lack of ethics, failure to provide healthcare pursuant to their licensing(s), irresponsibility, lack of professionalism and neglect to administer necessary health care.
