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.

I NEED HELP! I finally had to break down and see a cardiologist because I could not keep my EXTREMELY HIGH blood pressure in check. I was prescribed a new medication to take in addition to the other heart med I was already taking. I am currently having an adverse reaction to the medication and have been calling the clinic everyday for 7 days at this point to try to get some help and relief from these adverse reactions to no avail. When the prescription side affects say "if you are experiencing these serious side affects consult your physician" What does one do? There is a nurse on hand to answer questions that they do not have answers to. I tell them what is happening to me but NO actions have been taken. They say they will let the Dr. know. I'm still waiting Their lab scheduled me to have some tests done but have to wait a whole 25 days to get these tests. If your cardiovascular health matter feels like an urgent matter this is not a safe place to put your life into their hands.

In Palestine the office was very busy and we got in about 45 min late. However, we loved Dr Pachika - he was easy to understand, professional yet friendly and he was concerned about my Mom's condition. We will definately be back. THANK YOU for coming to Palestine - traveling is very hard for a 95 yr old.
