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.

This doctor has to be the most unprofessional medical professional I have ever met. I sat for over an hour in the office (dirty and un-kept). Then proceeded to examine my eye, without any gloves, after he was texting on his cell phone....UTTERLY DISGUSTING. Was no help what so ever, just gave my money away for no reason.
