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 it wasn't for the insurance having to go to this Dr? no one chooses to go Dobalian. It seems the colonscopy is mandatory. very low opinion. The $ seems to be the only driving factor in his office.

My father unfortunately was referred to this stupid and cheater doctor from his insurance. In spite of the bad reviews we went to him thinking there would just be a minor stomach issue. This doctor told my father to have colonoscopy at Coast Plaza Hospital (Trust me this hospital is also the worst hospital i ever went in my life!!) and his office staff told us insurance wouldnt cover it as he is now a physician provider. We paid out of the pocket a huge amount just for this colonoscopy and when we got the results i asked the office staff for the colonoscopy pictures for my record and the office assitant kept yelling at the phone that we dont keep pictures ask the hospital i insisted them to get from the hospital them self and hand it over to me she literally kept banging the phone without listening and did this same thing 4 times! I went to hospital and shockingly came to know that this doctor didnt took any pictures!!! Now i dont even trust the diagnosis!
