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.

Long wait
I switch doctors because she was highly recommended by many. I called beginning of August to get appointment which they said new patients take one hour so gave me September 22. I kept calling for cancellations, but even worse they moved it to September 29. Which really upset me, but I thought she might be so busy because she must be really good. She didn’t listen to my concerns. Only concentrated in one or two. She was in a hurry and was there for about 10 minutes. Disappointed me big time. I’m waiting to see if it will be the same in the future, otherwise I’ll switch again. My chiropractor requested X-rays which they said needed appointment for authorization, which gave me for 2 weeks by phone with PA. I couldn’t believe it. I’m not happy.

I work in ICU and COVID hit hard. I was depressed beyond words. I spoke with Dr Behnawa and she was so kind. It was easy to talk to her. She never passed judgement and helped me. She started me on meds and worked with me while I struggled to find the right therapist. She is a true gem. Compassionate, empathetic and so intelligent. I will forever be grateful to of had her as my doctor.

Dr. Behnawa is by far the best doctor I’ve ever had. She’s knowledgeable, really listens to my concerns, and provides options. She’s not a one size fits all, she really caters her treatment options to you and your lifestyle and what makes you feel comfortable. It feels so good to be heard and I’m so thankful for her.
