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.
Great family doctor.

Dr. Cefalu has met all of my health cares needs and then some. He is compassionate, thorough, knowledgeable and sincere. I don’t ever feel like I am being judged and leave feeling that my privacy will never be violated, in a small town these are things that I appreciate. Dr. Cefalu goes above and beyond.

Just had my second visit with Dr. Cefalu and just had to post a review. I have never had a doctor make me feel so comfortable and feel as I am his top priority like Dr Cefalu. He explains the medicine he prescribed me and made sure I didn’t have any other questions or concerns. Most doctors act like they can’t get out of the room fast enough. I will definitely keep him as my primary care doctor. Highly recommend him.

Dr Cefalu is absolutely the best doctor I have ever been to. He truly cares about your needs and has been an outstanding coach for me when I quit smoking and through the personal fitness to become a healthier person.
I rank him the highest in professionalism, proactive health prevention and most of all he is very easy to talk to. He takes the time to listen to you.
A #10 in my book!
