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.

Outstanding, very helpful and understood our emergency.

I would strongly not recommend Dr. Katemba.. He treats his patient like objects and not as human beings. Fails to approve refills in a timely manner causing this patient major withdrawals that could have been life threatening. Communication and call backs from nursing staff not handled correctly. Wrong referral to specialist was incorrect causing additional pain and suffering.

I was so impressed with with Dr. Katemba and all of the staff! He treated my 14 year old daughter with such care. He listened to our questions and he explained everything with common sense answers. Now both myself and my daughter want Dr. Katemba to be our permanent Dr. I highly recommend that people looking for excellent medical care, choose Dr. Katemba and his great staff. Leslie
