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.

Dr Tenewitz is a very caring dr. He actually cares about his patients, which is very hard to find these days. He's very knowledgable about my disease and has helped me tremendously. I trust him with my life.

Had my gall-bladder removed and he nicked my duct, went back to see him because I worse after than before. His answer was Percocet, have had to have multiple surgeries in Pensacola to fix his mess. Word of advice: drive to Sacred Heart in Destin.

I wouldn't take my dog to this quack, he's great if you want your problem covered up with pain pills. It's my understanding he got one of his nurses addicted. He's been sued multiple times in south Florida. STAY AWAY!!!
