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.

Arrogant
I had symptoms of a kidney infection. I’m familiar with these as I lost one of my kidneys due to recurrent infections since I was a teen. When I have symptoms I have to go to the hospital for admission and high powered IV antibiotics or risk losing the other kidney. I had a high white blood cell count. My urine culture grew 2 types of bacteria. The urinalysis contained blood, white blood cells, protein, and several other things that indicate kidney infection. This doctor said I did not have an infection, called me a drug seeker, and the only reason he admitted me is because on the off chance I wasn’t lying he had to cover his butt. If I didn’t have an infection, then why did he make me drink a high powered oral antibiotic powder right before I was discharged? He saw that I take norco daily for a legitimate reason, titled me an addict, and treated me like garbage. Even if I was an addict, I deserve treatment too. He’s arrogant, rude, and decides who’s worthy of care. He’s just awful.
