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.

Poor decisions and poor care
No empathy for patients who are low income. Does not listen to patient's family or wishes. Did not recommend treatments or course of treatments that were in the best interest of the patient. Over-rode other doctor's on the case even though there was nothing wrong with the patient's lungs and he should not have been primary doctor.

Poor to no bed side manner. Doctor demonstrated a lack of empathy with absolutely no interest in patient improvement. I do hope this doctor will revisit his hippocratic oath, and ponder if he studied medicine for the right reasons. As a patient, if you are looking to improve your health, please continue your search because a drive out of town is absolutely worth greatly improving your health. Seek other doctors, especially in more severe cases. Patients deserve to know their absolute options,whether he can accommodate or not, he should be able to refer you elsewhere if he doesn't have the proper technology within his reach to help you overcome any major health challenges.
