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.

Came highly recommended by other parents of autistic children, we went on a list for a year and then paid for the privilege of personal contact and allegedly more personalized care. Could not have been further from the truth, I had numerous attempts to text and call the doctor with almost no return calls or texts, I ended up calling the office and being told I have to be patient... Patient??? With the money he charges? Ridiculous. When we went for IV chelation for our son who is 11, the person doing them had the worst bedside manner ever, zero empathy for children or their parents, my son, as most kids, didn't want a needle, this guy was getting upset and angry and at one point almost got a smack from me. Now the Dr. has serve an email that he is basically leaving this because of health reasons and the toll of this work, toll? From what, counting your money? Saw the guy 3 times and the last time he made sure to tell me he hadn't received our payment.. Avoid him

Dr Dornfeld is more than competent. His concern for his patients makes him a great diagnostician. For 30 years I have relied on him to control the many health issues I experience. Dr. Dornfeld’s regimen of vitamin therapy & hyperbaric chamber has given me a new lease on life. “Feel Alive”

Dr Dornfeld is an excellent doctor and I couldn’t agree more with the other positive reviews! He looks past the lab tests and takes into consideration the persons past and present symptoms and treats the whole person.

If you are looking for a caring and competent physician who combines both traditional and alternative medical medicine in his practice, than you would be wise to consider Doctor Dornfeld. Dr. Dornfeld has been my physician for many years, and I can attest that I continue to have a healthy and active life – even now at seventy years old.

I have been using Dr. Dornfeld as my primary for the past few years. I find him to be extremely thorough in his treatment and approach. Even though he is 45 minutes from where I live, I continue to use him because I have never had as much faith and confidence in a doctor in the past.

After being evaluated by 11 different "specialists", Dr Dornfeld LISTENED to my issues and concerns. He went back into my history & found the reason of my conditions & complaints by THOROUGHLY evaluating my concerns. The Lab tests do NOT always tell you what is wrong with a person, and Dr Dave was able to use OMT & spend the quality time needed for him to treat me & reverse my varied conditions. I had a severe Heavy metal burden which we removed over time safely as we quenched Babesiosis & Lyme
