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.

Leg pain after electrocution
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Rishty From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and comfortable. The doctor was incredibly friendly and professional, taking the time to thoroughly explain the tests and procedures I would undergo. I never felt rushed, and it was clear that Dr. Rishty genuinely cared about my health and well-being. The diligence with which they conducted the tests gave me confidence in their expertise. I highly recommend this neurologist to anyone looking for a thorough, caring, and skilled professional!

She treated my dad after he was hospitalized. She contacted me personally to discuss his tests and recommendations. She discovered a life threatening condition that none of the other doctors found. I would definitely recommend her.

She’s smart, resourceful and interested. She listens well and answers every question clearly and in-depth. She took as much time as I needed and never seemed rushed. This was my first appointment with Dr. Rishty and I’m looking forward to the progress I think she’ll make with my decades-long migraine and vertigo problems. Very, very satisfied. I had a telemedicine visit (at my request, due to the COVID situation) and used my iPhone. It was simple — you get both an email and a text with a link to the virtual waiting room, and just click and go. She followed up by email with instructions for the medication she prescribed.
