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.

Let the buyer beware. I was experiencing a TIA (stroke precursor) in both the office waiting room and the exam room. I exhibited every stroke symptom the American Heart Association has identified while meeting with the doctor. Dr, Law diagnosed me as suffering from "garden variety depression" and sent me home with a prescription for an anti-depressant. The next morning, I suffered a severe brain stem stroke and was lucky to live through it, after weeks in the hospital and months of rehabilitation.

If you want a doctor that does more than pokes his head in the door turn else where. I witnessed first hand how much time he spent with my family member in the hospital. A patient he has had for many years. A phone call or a text would have been longer and probably just as effective as his one on one consult. He very well may be a good doctor. However he is gone like a ghost makes you question yourself was he even ever there.

I feel like he could be a very good doctor but he's in way too much of a hurry. I feel like I have to practically tackle him as he's backing out the door of the exam room before I'm even done explaining what's going on. He also often discusses the planned course of treatment and then leaves the examination room and comes back 10 minutes later, having forgotten to write Rx's or referrals that you just previously discussed. If/when you get his full attention, he's a good doctor. It's not easy.
