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.

Care,
Dr. Shanina does not explain what she the health treatment plan is prior, and does not make it a point to follow-up with results from testing and is only out to make a name for herself. She also has a very bad bed side manner and passing blame onto the health insurance as to why things are not being done. I DO NOT RECOMMEND HER to anyone. I suffered dearly and regressed on treatment as she was not on top of my treatment plan and did not file the appropriate paperwork with my commercial health insurance for prior treatments, which has now caused me having to to appeal large amounts of medical bills due to her lack of due diligence on filing prior authorizations for needed treatments. I am now having to dispute the bills as she has sent them to bill collections and her office staff are very rude and do not show any help or care . Not sure how these doctors make this far in their career, all I know is Karma will come when she least expects it and through her loved one.

She has an Ice cold bedside manner, makes negative assumptions about her patients, doesn't follow through after testing & doesn't show any concern. She is there for the paycheck only.
