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.

Excellent doctor!
I've been seeing Dr. Deva for many years. Even though my insurance will now cover doctors closer to my home, I prefer to see her. On this visit we reviewed my latest lab tests for diabetes. She always explains results and options clearly, but without being condescending. I enjoy working with her.

The best PCM
Dr. Deva is very accommodating, knowledgeable, and caring. She always listens without judgement and takes her time with me. I moved a little further from her clinic but I still go to her because she is the best PCM i’ve ever had. She is a true gem.
