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.

So disasaponted
My wife went to Dr. Nowatka for a year checkup that is included on my insurance, She told him that sometimes when she eats greasy food her stomach hurts, He strongly suggested that She had an ultrasound and blood work just to make sure she was ok. She agreed and after around $800.00 in test they didn't find anything, which is good and I paid for. But couple of weeks later I received a $247.00 bill from his office for the visit. My wife explained that it was an annual visit and it was covered by my insurance, they told her that for 45 minutes the doctor charged originally $450.00, like $10.00 a minute.She explained again that the annual visit is covered by my insurance. Nobody wants to listen to her, they told her that becuase Dr. Nowatka found something it was like a regular visit. He foud something??? That's not the point of an annual visit to prevent future illness???? She saw him 1 time, what a joke. Anyway after 2 years of going back and foward they took the money from my taxes any
