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.

My child felt ignored by Dr. Cardenas. He then told her that her feelings were "wrong." Avoid this doctor. Why is he working with children?

My child ran out of there sobbing claiming the doctor is a liar and twisting her words around. Trying to get her transferred to another doctor is an absolute nightmare.
