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.

If I could give 0 stars I would. She always seems to be in a rush. She comes in for like 2 minutes and walks out, meanwhile she makes you make 30+ minutes to see her! No happy with her and her staff at all. Changing pediatricians ASAP!
