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.

GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND!
My mom had a scare a few months ago and we were fortunate to have an appointment with Dr. Sophia. From the moment we met her, Dr. Sophia's empathy, warmth, and professionalism put us at ease. She was comforting and down to earth, which made us feel like we were in capable hands. Throughout the entire process, Dr. Sophia demonstrated exceptional knowledge and expertise. She took the time to explain the facts, possibilities, and various treatment options in a way that was easy to understand. As someone who's been in the medical field for so long, I appreciated her ability to meet their patients where they are and prioritize the human aspect of care. We highly recommend Dr. Sophia for whoever is navigating these uncertain waters.

Exemplifies excellence and expertise Dr Fu rocks !
Dr. Fu helped to save my life & managed to safely guide me through an unwelcomed & unexpected journey upon my being diagnosed with breast cancer at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. She is really amazing ! I am so grateful to have found her. To say that Dr. Fu is kind,caring & smart would be an understatement because she's so much more than that. Sometimes when you find someone who's known to be a good surgeon they aren't always good with the other stuff but Dr Fu is brilliant, compassionate, a patient listener who addresses concerns & takes the time to explain things along with being a great surgeon & very thorough when it came to getting it all with the cancer surgery itself but also with the scans,biopsies & preparing me before that.She's good at explaining things too. Dr. Fu is a cool person who rocks it & she will help save your life...I wouldn't be here if not for her. Dr Fu. deserves such respect & admiration so please check yourself regularly and if need be see Dr Fu.
