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.

Excellent doctor!
Very professional staff and extremely knowledgeable medical doctor. As a pharmacist myself, I know doctors are under a lot of pressure to rush through their consultations. Dr. Mbakwem always takes his time and is meticulous about his approach during me and my family’s visits. I thank God for him.
