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.

Nurse issues
I have no problem with Dr. Lakhani, however his nurses do not respond to vmail and do not not follow through on prescription refills. This is the norm, not the exception. I have called about 5 times since I've been seeing him and left messages which were never answered. Totally unacceptable.

This dr. doesn't like anyone to ask questions and is pushy about prescribed medication. If your child is sick, it's going to be your fault. Go somewhere else.
