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.

He performed surgery with no complications. However, he shows no regard for his patients or their family. He did not report to my family immediately upon completion of my surgery. Nor did he send anyone else to do so. I saw him once, for about 45 seconds during my 5 day hospital stay and he did not even touch me. He never acknowledged his failure to inform my family that the open hesrt surgery was complete and that I was in ICU and of course, never apologized. When we went for my follow up appt we sat in his packed waiting room for two hours, and no one was seen. We saw him walking around for 10 minutes or more, talking on what was obviously a personal call, while we waited. The patients were so disgruntled we began talking to each other, which led to the discovery that he double booked patients snd that several had appts earlier than ours. We ultimately left after complaining to the receptionisti.
