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.

A wonderful doctor
Dr Asfaw and her staff are terrific! Despite having a very busy schedule and plenty of people in the waiting room, she saw me on time and gave me her complete attention. She had reviewed my history and was very knowledgeable about my situation. She was kind and efficient, patient and understanding. She is a delight as is her entire office. I am so grateful to be Dr. Asfaw’s patient!

Awesome Experience
First time seeing Dr. Asfaw. Loved her whole team from Lena at the front desk who helped when I had the wrong time for the appointment to her protege whose name escapes me at the moment, to Dr. Asfaw herself. Everyone was warm, kind, and answered questions thoroughly.
