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.

I’ve never met a Dr that cares less than him. There are been so many issues but the latest was the worst. I tried for 2 weeks to get an MRI referral for horrible headaches. I paid for a visit on 12/11 to discuss and get a referral to a neurologist. However I can’t get in until Feb. when they kept getting worse I called on 12/19 and literally every day for 2 weeks waited for him to sign the referral. Finally today he tells his staff to phone me and suggest I go to ER or wait 2 more weeks for the next appt. I feel sorry for his staff who are very friendly and care. It’s all about money. When I had an allergic reaction and went into his office he said “ why do you keep closing your eyes. “ I said they are swollen like my face. I literally had to beg for a steroid shot and he made me feel horrible about it. He doesn’t care. He just cares how many patients he can cram into a day. Thankfully there’s a new Dr I can switch to.

Does not provide medical results timely, and hardly takes any time to understand the issues during an appointment.

Dr. Path has been a great health care provider. Not only is he knowledgeable, he is very professional and takes the time to really ask you questions or answer any you might have. If it had not been for Dr. Path I would never have been able to improve my health and lose 100 pounds in a years time. He is so supportive of any and all progress I have made. I would highly recommend Dr path if you are ever in need of a fantastic doctor.

Visited for initial vist...Dr Path was wonderful. He is very attentive and spent more time than he probably should have with me. He took the time to answer all of my questions without seeming to be rushing to the next patient. I was highly impressed with his manner and professionalism am thrilled to call him my doctor....
