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.

Unprofessional
Last year Julie diagnosed me with an arcuate uterus. When I went for my first OB appointment this year, I mentioned the arcuate uterus to her and asked questions. She proceeded to google search “what is an arcuate uterus” right in front of my husband and me. She also stated that I did not have an arcuate uterus even though she diagnosed me with it as well as two other doctors.

Rude women
Julie knows what she does, but she is a rude, unfriendly woman, she made me feel bad on several occasions during my check-up appointment. I sincerely expected a better treatment, I hope that she changes her bad character, and that I have more empathy for her patients.

Very happy with her
First visit I have had with her and I was very impressed with her courteous, friendly and knowledgeable demeanor. Nobody enjoys these kind of exams but she put me right at ease. Would definitely recommend her.
