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 was a patient for several years and decided to switch Drs because I felt she was a bit lazy. Once I switched Drs and transferred my medical records my new Dr. noticed how my PSA levels were escalating over the years and immediately ordered me a biopsy RESULTS: Prostate Cancer! Lucky I switched doctors when i did(Stage 1). No excuses for overlooking vital signs leading up to this diagnosis. I DO NOT RECOMEND!

The last time I saw her I had a urinary tract infection and she prescribed medicine and it helped. We are now moving to Texas. Leaving tomorrow morning and I wake up today with a UTI. Being a woman we know when we have this. I called her office and explained we were moving to Texas and could she call in some medication for this. I was told NO! I had to come in and see her. I explained I am leaving for Texas late tonight. Still NO! This woman has no feelings. She is all about MONEY!

Could not answer basic questions. Has a shaming-mentality. Could not provide references when needed. Will not use again - first and last time. Left appointment in tears.

She took a sample from my husband and then never had it tested. She didn't tell me about some of my test results until a year later. On a separate occasion, I asked her what one of the results from my blood work meant and she arrogantly smirked and told me it was nothing. That's right, she refused to answer a medical question. Also, I had an issue that was resolved by a specialist and she still insisted I go to another specialist to resolve the same issue. Arrogant, incompetent and disorganized.
