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.

Too busy to care
Questionable diagnosisHad something in my chest right where my heart is going on for days off/on. Had this Dr months ago do a stress test that he said was normal. Now i had problems and Dr couldn't see me for 2 days of continued calling. Finally got an appointment and has a NP do a ekg in like 4 sec (or less) tells me she would check with Dr. she comes back says your heart is fine. When leaving it started up again. Wasted $50 for a less than 5 min visit that was totally useless. I need a Doctor that really cares about my health and not in it for the money.January 30, 2024
