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.

It took me four months to get a hearing test so the insurance would pay for a tube removal and during that time I basically had no hearing in that ear. I am a diabetic and the surgery was not done until 3:00 in the afternoon and I was told not to eat after midnight. I do believe he is a good surgeon though

I have never been treated so unprofessionally before by a physician! I came to his office feeling very sick, and he failed as a professional by hardly examining me. He looked in my nose, glanced in my throat, and didn't even look in my ears! He was deadset on me not having a sinus infection and refused to listen to me as a patient. He made me get a CBC blood test, and told me I couldn't possibly have an infection because my white blood cell count was actually very low, and not high. I had to go to my family doctor with a 102 fever to finally get diagnosed with a sinus infection. They are also very concerned about my low white blood cells and my enlarged lymph nodes, which he brushed off, as they are quite prominent now. His incompetence is alarming and arrogance and lack of deference towards women greatly affect affects his ability to be a medical professional.
