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.

really cares about you, very thorough, gentle
he is a great doctor who seems to really care about how you feel, relate to you in a gentle way while he makes the right questions to get the information necessary for his diagnostic. very respectful and seems to have a lot of experience. he takes his time to don´t make you feel like the clock is ticking and your fifteen minutes will be over soon, as i experience with other doctors.he looks at you as a hole not just as a knee or a spine, so can have a better picture of where you come from to your ailments and pains as many things influence your illness. I can keep going on and on about all the things i like from this doctor in my first visit, so i will short it to from 1 to 10 I will give him a 12 that is how please and impress i am with his knowledge, personality and expertise. i am not a person easy to impress but i am impress with him as a doctor. so far so good i trust him and be able to trust your doctor i is the beginning to get better as you will listen to him.
