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.

Dr. Stern has been my Dr. for at least 15 years. He is a "no nonsense" medical expert. I feel completely confident in his care.

Dr. Stern has been my primary care physician for approximately twenty years. I trust him. He has all the qualities one looks for in someone who is guiding one through the vagaries of health and well-being. Highly recommended.

Dr. Stern is the best. He's honest, concerned, and his diagnosis has always been right. He's been treating my family for over twenty five years.
