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.

This doctor sends you a bill one year later. He does tests but he never share the results with you and eventually will bill you for nothing. No follow up, no, just a bill. He will eventually tell you to take Boswelia and go home. One year later a big bill comes even if you get assured many times after the visit that you will never receive a bill afterwards. Dr Kretzmann and the entire office he is working for have also a very strange policy. If you want to be seen again by him or another doctor from this office, you must become a member. Yes, you have to pay an annually fee to be their patient. Like being member of a gym, club, etc. If you don’t become a member, they don’t care about you. Dr Benjamin Kretzmann has never shared with me the results of the tests he has done and now he is sending me a bill?! I was in tremendous pain when I went there. I waited for weeks and months for the results to come, for a phone call from his office. Never a sign of care, just a bill. For what?
