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.

Highest accolades!
Very professional and caring with all her patients. Takes all the time you need to explain and answer questions. Seeks out answers from other professionals and spends time out of work hours to call patients when needed. Been her patient for 12 years and would not go anywhere else.

Makes Repeated Mistakes
She made multiple mistakes on my chart and offered no apology. She said that her nurse should not have read it to me. No, doctor I didn't have a partial hysterectomy, I don't have a family history of ovarian cancer, and your nurse told me for 2 months that you said I was going to have my ovaries removed... all not true. She is entirely too busy to see you (you'll see her NP's) She is entirely too busy to ask you anything personal about yourself on that rare occurrence when you see her-- so for her notes to be sooo wrong when she doesn't know me and uses them to design my care was too frightening. I had to leave.

Very arrogant and demeaning. Terrible doctor! Two hour wait. She saw me five minutes. I’ve had cancer twice. I will “never” go back to her.
