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.

Would not recommend
Dr Amy treated my brother in the ER a few weeks ago. Kept him in the ER all night long presumably to admit him. In the morning came in and said there was nothing he could do for him so he was discharging him. My brother was a cancer patient at Opelousas General for colon cancer. Surgery to remove colon and insert a colostomy bag was performed there. The next day he was in the ER in Lafayette. Was admitted to the hospital and given great medical care. Had surgery to put a stint in his kidney giving some immediate relief. Two days later underwent another surgery to move colostomy bag lower and straighten out his colon. All of these things should have been seen and attended to by Dr Amy.
