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 experience with this dr was awful. He had the audacity to ask me if I was in the medical field because I asked questions about what his thoughts were.y daughter has severe stomach pain in the same area, under her left rib, and his answer was to see a psychologist. When I said I am leaving with no answers to my questions he said he would prescribe her a acid reflux medicine and when I said I don't want to give my child something she doesn't need,he said he's sendin it. Absolutely awful dr.

Absolutely awful! When your 13 year old daughter looks at you and mouths the word's I'm scared when he is asking questions about her stomach issues, you know it's bad. He was incredibly rude, demeaning, and just all around unpleasant. When I asked questions he said to me in all seriousness, You don't have a medical degree do you? I left with no additional insight into her issues, just extra stress! Hospital staff was friendly and helpful, but I just can't believe he's a children's doctor
