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.

I went in for birth control for acne and specifically said so and she prescribed me a type(Levora) that is apparently known for causing more acne due to its higher androgenic effects. She stressed that I needed to take it for 3 months minimum BEFORE contacting her office to switch/stop. Those 3 months that I trusted her caused me horrendously disgusting cystic acne that covered 60% of my face that took me 2+ years to recover!!! For something so basic in family medicine she should have listened closely and had a much less dismissive bedside manner. Her staff was friendly and organized but Dr. Tong was unprofessional and lacking in research/knowledge. Even a simple google search would have shown which birth controls for acne...
