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.

A Specialist Or Not A Specialist
While he did such a wonderful thorough visit with others I was the one left sitting unattended in next examination room. I had an appt with Dr. Palestine and waited for 50 min but he never showed. No explanations and/or apologies ever given. What good is a specialist if you don’t get to see him. And where is the professional courtesy of letting your patients know you are running 50 min. Late?

I had to wait in the exam room waiting room to see Dr. Palestine 30 minutes or longer. When he finally came in he had someone with him, he introduced her but I dont remember her name. I dont know if she was a actual Dr. or a intern but she might as well have been the Dr, I was seeing instead of him. He constantly asked or said what do you think or dont you think. He was actually in the room for approx. 10 minutes before he left and left her there to finish my questions and instructions.
