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.

Neglectful care. Between his fellows that change every 2 weeks, and Dr. Fuster being impossible to reach or talk to, my husband’s deteriorating heart health went unchecked for years. Stay away.

Dr Fuster is what every doctor should strive to be He is focus on detail and at the same time gentle. I strongly feel my dad is still with us because he is under his care.

The most caring, knowledgeable, thorough gentleman. A real doctor who actually cares, who disects every report on a patient and cross references all sorts of data to give a complete assessment of every single patient. I have never met a doctor quite like him. I cannot put into words how wonderful this man is. Three of my family members including myself are patients and we all feel incredibly lucky to be in this man's hands. Superb. I wish I could give him 100 stars on my review.
