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.

Not a happy patient
I had an early August appointment which was rescheduled due to doctor. I arrived today at 7:45 am for my 8am appointment. They took me back fairly quickly and there I sat for over 30 minutes. At 8:30 I finally went and asked only to be informed the doctor had not even arrived to the office yet and no one bothered to tell me. I wonder how long they would've allowed me to sit there? Needless to say I rescheduled my appointment and left. Now I have to wait until November 3 months late on my 6mos follow up!

Dr Purohit took my mother as a new patient. Recognized she was in old meds not appropriate for seniors. Put mom on new Med type more modern Med. Since then moms diabeties is control and easier for senior mom to manage. I love this because she had courage to evaluate mom on her own and not just do what the original dr had her doing. Refreshing. Her staff especially Coleen is a GOD send. This lady has such a calm ensuring demeanor that's great for seniors. Great team.
