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.

The imaging tech had difficulty finding a suspected hernia. Dr. Basen was called in, instantly recognized the issue, and instructed the tech in a constructive and friendly manner on how to find it and read the image. He was very professional, competent, and personable. At my request he recommended a surgeon to possibly correct the problem.

I was extremely disappointed in Dr. Basen’s misdiagnosing my broken finger when he read the X-rays of my finger at Shady Grove Radiology in Germantown, MD. He utilized an expensive procedure when a simpler one would have worked better and more efficiently. After my numerous complaints of finger pain, swelling, and lack of mobility, I was finally referred to a specialist who immediately diagnosed hat I had a fractured finger via an X-ray. I do not want anyone to be subjected to substandard care.
