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.

Condescending and ignorant
I went in for a simple issue but he refused to listen to me. I got the impression he just wanted me out of his office as soon as possible. Seems distracted with too many patients. His medical advice was ultimately not helpful, and when I told him he didn't care, just told me it was my fault. Very unimpressed with his attentiveness and knowledge. However his office staff was nice so I guess that's good.

I have been using Dr. Sheff as my primary care physician for over 25 years. I have found him to be knowledgeable, friendly, responsive and an excellent listener and educator. I feel lucky that I have him to counsel me in my health care issues as I age.
