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.

The office will get you to sign letters of protection instead of using your PPO insurance then send you to collections. The office is run terribly. The doctor does not care or he would not put up with such terrible use of his name by his employees. I have tried to resolve for a year. Signed 4 agreements. I run a doctors office and have never seen a doctors office treat a patient and doctors wife this bad, I wouldnt recommend until he gets a new office manager

I had to contact a lawyer to schedule an appointment as it was an auto accident! I waited 2 1/2 hours for this doctor to come in and look at old fashioned x rays ( he was in the room 3 minutes) and let me I had torn ligaments in my neck! Sent me to the front desk to get meds and do pt!! If I would have done this I would be paralyzed!!! He totally MISS DIAGNOSED ME!!!!! I have terrible herniated discs in my neck NOT doing an MRI/CT, HORRIFIC NEVER USE THIS OFFICE ONLY an Insurance Gig!!
