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.

nothing but superlatives......
what I count on from Dr. Ma, she ALWAYS delivers - precise and thoughtful review of my case, tests, scans, labs, visits with other members of care team. I feel fortunate to have her explanation of things that relate to me and he willingness to help me see my way through the morass that comes with a cancer dx.

Knew my case though covering for colleague
I saw Dr. Ma and knew beforehand that she was covering for my usual oncologist. She and her resident were clearly well prepared on my case, very personable and knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to return to Dr. Ma should the need arise.

I was seeing another doctor but he left and I was given Dr. Ma. I liked her at once. She is very smart. She is not an alarmist, listens to me, personable, professional and I get a call back from Paul, her assistant. When I call. I live two hours away so we have had virtual visits which she is fine with. I would certainly recommend her to friends and family.

I felt I was in good hands
Dr. Ma is friendly, intelligent and a good listener. She examined me gently yet thoroughly for the reason I came to see her. I felt she really cared about me and my condition problem. She understood my complaints and made reasonable suggestions to relieve my discomfort, pain and anxiety. Dr. Ma is an excellent and competent physician.
