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.

horrible after surgery care
This would have been 5 stars if I had not been abandoned directly after surgery. I was treated like a number and not a patient. Surgery went well but ended up having a reaction to the pain medicine that was prescribed and could not take it. Being extremely sensitive to medication, I called office several times in need of help because my pain was out of control. I was spoken down to, concerns ignored, told I would have to do without pain medication if I could not take what was given, and offered no help or appointment. Then ended up in the emergency room because the nurse/Dr refused to manage my pain which was never under control from surgery. I was abandoned as a patient and neglected within hours of surgery. The most horrible and traumatic experience ever. I never received an explanation or an apology. Would never recommend this office to anyone.

Awesome
He speaks with you and not at you. Speaks so you understand. Takes time with you until you are comfortable and not rush you out the door so he can go to next patient. Great work!!! Pleasant staff also.
