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.

No one likes going to the gynecologist but going to Dr. Szabo’s office is always a good experience. Kay and Vicky are excellent and Dr. Szabo is very efficient and to the point! I’m always treated with kindness and respect.

Dr Szabo not only quickly evaluated and came up with a plan for my complex medical condition, but explained every decision he made along the way. Some aren't as fond of his bedside manner, but I would rather have a confident, veteran physician who is very confident in his abilities and decisions than a hand holding, indecisive physician who's lack of prompt decision making mean more wait time to a result. Also,I had inpatient surgery and extended hospital stay, I was impressed at his aftercare.

Dr. Szabo's secretary and nurse violated HIPAA by announcing my full name to the waiting room immediately after discussing between them, in gory detail, the procedure I was there for that day. However, State College is a very bad environment for doctors, so the fact that Dr. Szabo offers an alternative to the large corporate environment is commendable. He needs to sound proof because the doors are closed for a reason and you can hear EVERYTHING from the waiting room at Dr. Szabo's office. :(
