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.

No compassion and clueless
I always leave feeling hopeless and angry without any answers to why I hurt so bad or how to manage the symptoms. Appointments are rushed. I don’t feel heard at all. One time I was even prescribed a medication that I am allergic to. It was in my file that I was allergic to it by its trade name. Fortunately, when I got to the car I looked up the prescribed generic name and realized it was the medication I was allergic to. It’s been over 3 years of nonsense, no answers, and no help. If you are not an easy, textbook case, I would not recommend going to this doctor.

Dr. House is kind, a great listener, very compassionate and her initial workup was one of the most thorough I have ever encountered. She narrowed down my symptoms and diagnosed a condition that has plagued me for over thirty years. Other physicians have made me feel that I was a complainer. Dr House diagnosed my condition and persisted until she found the most effective treatment for it. I am extremely satisfied and grateful for her continuing efforts. I highly recommend her!

Dr. House and I have a great relationship. She listens to me carefully and addresses my complaints fully. In addition, her office will work me in if that is needed. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I have not been the easiest patient to deal with, with everything medically that is going on with me. She has always been very patient with me, explains everything very well, and tries her best to get the proper treatments for me, and if I run into hardships for medications, she tries to get me the help I need to be able to continue on my current medications without cost (patient assistance programs). She has a lot of compassion for her patients. She's the best!

In the begining I would have recommended her to anyone cause I thought she had compassion and she cared and was trying to help me. But symptoms worsened and new ones came up and as things became more puzzling the less caring I felt she became. The pain is here and I ask what is going on and she says a lot but no direct answer. And that don't fix my problem it just stresses me out and I stay sick wondering whats next.

She is the best!!! She listens & always explains the treatments, side effects, etc. She is compassionate. She is always trying to find some new treatment that will help me better than what I am on now. She refers me to other specialists when needed. I don't care to wait because she often spends a long time with me so I know she's taking the time needed with her other patients. If I need to see one of the other doctors if she's off, They will always work me in.
