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.

Saw this Dr in ER. He was a very poor listener and exhibited an attitude that the patient didn't know anything about their own health. Worse, after reviewing the ER report he confirmed that he did not listen. Entries were completely wrong in the report. He stated he did exams when in fact he did none. He stated he did not prescribe medications when, in fact, he prescribed 3 meds, one of which was a controlled substance and yet he failed to list it in the medication chart.
