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.

Poor Experience
Dr. Siva did not listen well to my sleep experience. I was glad I eventually sought out a second opinion. He also made me uncomfortable with some comments about my appearance.

Uncomfortable feeling
My first meeting with Dr Siva made me feel uncomfortable. He said I looked beautiful and looked healthy so why was I there. he then said I had beautiful green eyes and wanted to see them closer up. I felt uncomfortable. He was taking over for my doctor of 5 years and said everything he told me was wrong. I don't have COPD because I never smoked and I don't have asthma and for me to stop all medicine. I asked him about my adhesion's and nodules on my lung, he asked, how did I know that? I then asked him about my raised right diaphragm and could this be from my Sepsis Infection I had years ago. He was so perplexed. I said, You do know I had Sepsis infection in my lungs causing bi-lateral pleural efusion resulting in a right lung tap? He had no clue. He started looking at my scans and said, you're right. I went back a second time with my husband and this time he asked how my COPD was coming, listened to the wheezing on my lungs and put me on all new meds. Total 180 from previous meeting.
