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.

I had been struggling to find a good nephrologist and found Dr Lerma. I hit the jackpot! He is a great doctor and so pleasant and very easy to talk to. We have developed a great report. He may be my favorite doctor. I would recommend him to any one. And best of he has a great personality and bedside manner.
