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.

Have seen this doctor for years, but in the last year his staff has canceled my appt 3 times. Each reschedule put me at the end of his queue, with months more to wait. At a certain point, you have to say he just doesn't care about his patients. Maybe he should retire.
