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.

Dr. Kak saves my husbands life, we doctored in the Upper Peninsula for months and they could not figure out what was going on with my husband, made the 7 hour drive to see Dr. Kak and he was amazing and patient and found that he had an autoimmune disease. Made many long journeys to see him and will continue to do so!

I have been going to this office for almost 9 years. They have kept me out of the hospital on numerous occasions. I can't imagine going to anyone else for my immune issues. My health has improved immeasurably since going there.

Fantastic Doctor! I took my Mom to St Joe’s and U of M in Ann Arbor on 4 separate hospitalizations and they could not figure out that she had culture free endocarditis. Dr Kak figured it out within 2 days of her admission. He is so smart and so humble. He goes out of his way to help you even when it is not billable.
