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.

Dr. Alvi is excellent. Very knowledgeable and professional while being personable and relatable. Explained things in a way I could understand .

She never seems to know why I’m being seen. Seems unprepared. It’s frustrating. It’s like her staff is clueless also, even when you say why you’re there she’s unaware there was an issue.

Went in because primary physician wanted me to have a specialist review swelling issue and blood pressure. Dr. prescribed some additional medications after being sure to avoid possible interactions. Recommended a diet and exercise program. Wrote to my primary a summary of what we talked about and suggested some additional testing to consider. The Dr. explained the tests and labs and medications so that I knew exactly why each was important. I felt empowered and informed when I left.
