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.

Best urologist I've ever visted
Dr Distefano has been treating me for prostate cancer. He has a great manner and genuine concern for a patient's well being. He explains all the test results and works with you to develop treatment plans. I feel very lucky to have him on my team.

I only had a brief consultation with Dr. DiStefano, but I found him knowledgeable and engaging. We had a very direct, well-informed and full conversation, as short as it was, in which I felt he listened to what I had to say and offered a reasonable professional opinion, even though we were discussing an area of developing practice. I have no reservations in recommending him.

Dr. DiStefano is the best! I not only had an excellent experience with him but now hear nothing but superlatives from others when I tell them who went to him. I would further describe him as professional, caring, current with the newest practices. Again, the best!
