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.

If you like a doctor that will sarcastically say things like “ your no light weight” when you go there for treatment on foot probs that could happen to an actual “ light weight” the go for it. I finally had enough of his sarcasm after years of ineffective treatment. Then I wen to a actual MD who fixed my problem after one visit. Lesson learned.

Excellent ''bedside manner'', wise, smart, knowledgable, great sense of humor, trustworthy, kind and a good listener. One of the best doctors I have ever met. I refer him to everyone. He's *that* good!
