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.

Bad Bedside Manner
I was in Lake Tahoe on vacation last year when my fiancé was diagnosed with a brain tumor. We are from from NY and were far away from friend/family. Dr. Jantos told me my fiancé had a malignant tumor and asked if I understood what that meant, but then said that he couldn't read the scan and was waiting for a radiologist to confirm. My fiancé was transferred to another hospital that could better handle the case, and here we were told this was NOT a cancerous mass but of course surgery/treatment was needed when we returned to NY. The entire situation was extremely traumatic for both parties involved, and Dr. Jantos stating it was malignant was an extra stressor that wasn't necessary in the situation. My recommendation to Dr. Jantos in the future would be to try harder to understand the position of the family and patient and not throw out terms unless he is positive of the diagnosis.
