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.

Had a friend go into her and she not only shamed my friend for her symptoms but along with that provided no care for the symptoms and neglected to treat for anything. Caused my friend a lot of trauma. My friend brought in papers from a previous diagnosis and when presented to Dora she questioned why my friend was even having pain even though there was a clear kidney problem diagnosed. She also stated this patient had self esteem issue based off this one encounter while the patient was in pain. Also compared the sex life of this patient to that of her children. Also said not to go to ER if she has kidney problems again.

She is sad with her lack of passion and humanity. Sad case as a health care worker. Disrespectful and rude

I saw Dr. Saforo during the flu season at an urgent care clinic. I was appalled by her horrible bedside manner. She's rude and condescending. At one point I had to take off the mask I was wearing so she could examine my throat, and I had to tell her something about my symptoms and she barked at me to not speak with the mask off - and she wasn't even wearing a mask! Her unprofessional behavior was shocking, made it difficult to ask questions, and I don't trust her diagnoses.

Dr. Saforo has very poor bedside manners. I took my daughter in and she was very rude.

Worst doctor I have ever seen. She just happened to be the urgent care doctor on duty. She was rude from the moment she burst into the room with a scowl on her face. She barely listened to me, rushed to an incorrect diagnosis, and discounted my symptoms, questions and concerns, making me feel foolish for asking them. Thank goodness for my primary, who I followed up with a few days later, and who correctly ordered the necessary tests. DO NOT let this doctor (mis)treat you.

She is a very rude person. She isn't welcoming and doesn't listen to her patients. I've been having nausea problems for about 12 years. I go in and she tells my me that all my issues are cause because of anxiety and tells me to go see a PSYC. Well I took it into my own hands and apparently I have acid reflux which going without treatment can cause cancer. On top of that she had one of her staff members call me to tell my I'll be going to physical therapy and that I have scoliosis. Without detail
