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.

My mom sees her, my grandma, and I have been seeing her for more than ten years! She’s amazing. Very straight to the point and honest. Listens and gives great advice. Always calls with my lab results and answers my questions. Also love the staff the girls are always so nice!

Horrible bedside manner. Barged into the room, gave me no directions. Did not make me feel welcome or try to address my concerns properly.

Beware! They have no respect for patients or their comfort. A medical assistance there, Svytlana, has taken it upon herself to decide if you can or can't see the doctor, and if the doctor will give them medications, or even speak to them. I would like to know in what office, in the world, does an assistant have the authority to decide whether or not one can speak to the doctor? This place is extremely unprofessional, they are careless with overbooking appointments, and worst of all, they believe they have the right to tell you what you should do with your body. On numerous occasions I was told I HAD to do something or I could not see the doctor, when I do NOT have to do anything I do not want to. Other than the last time I was there when I decided I had enough of their abuse and decided to leave, over the years of me being a patient, I have never spent less than 2-3 hours per visit. I once refused a certain test (which one is not obligated to have), so they made me wait another hour a

She is an extremely unprofessional doctor. My mom went to her at 14 weeks for a check up and she made her cry!!!! My mom is 45 and this would be her fourth child. The doctor told her that she will not take her and she should not be having children. I am not exaggerating one bit guys. I promise you guys that with this kind of attitude, you will have a good experience until you reach a point where your visits are more than check ups.

very disappointed, poor attitude, I was with her, and I had had a few questions, she was gone and did not come, did not say anything, the dialogue has not been doing its job with a favor. I never it will not go.

My experience was horrible. The front desk staff were rude and unprofessional. The doctor came in and did not explain anything she was doing and was in the room for about 5 minutes. I felt confused about the diagnoses and when I inquired farther I felt disrespected. I will NEVER be returning to this doctor.
