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.

Dr. Vish is a wonderful doctor. He is professional, caring, and compassionate. He took the time to answer all my questions at every appointment including right before surgery. He made everything effortless for me. His office called me a day or two after surgery to make sure I was okay and to answer any questions I might have had. Every aspect of my experience was positive and I really appreciate that! He's the only doctor I'd go to for surgery again if my health requires it.
