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 was embarrassed at my apointment and felt like I was wasting his time. He wouldn’t let me articulate my problems and just cut me off. I left in tears.

Made an appointment which took about 3 weeks, came to my appointment for them to tell me the dont accept my insurance which i never had an issue with anywhere else, then i said ok i will pay cash to be seen which they said was fine and then said the doctor was going to charge me $1,000 to have a scope view something, keep in mind i have not even been taken in the actual doctors office yet, this is just what the doctors assistant was saying on the phone, then said to go somewhere else. Terrible

I was referred to him by another Dr. due to me having dizziness and nausea. We were all hoping it was an inner ear infection. He sent me to get a CT scan without explaining the reason only that it wasn't my ears. Tuesday I had my CT scan and on Friday night at 5:45 pm I received an email with my results, no contact from any medical staff, I read and looked up all the words I needed only to learn I have a tumor on the pituitary gland. It is Tueday and I still haven't spoken to him.
