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.

As soon as he walked in the room, he came off rude. He was very aggressive, and in a hurry. He told me and my daughter that she might have cancer, right out in the open, as if he was threatened by us trying to belittle us. Scared us and made us very sad for the whole day. He barely did an examination. My daughter does NOT have cancer thank the Lord. It was just a boil, and it healed in 1 week after we went to another doctor. Very unprofessional man, and it seems the high desert is a hide out spot for low end doctors! In any case, I am with the others, and will be filing a complaint. Worst doctor experience in my life.

This man should NOT be treating anyone, adult or child. Terrible experience. Highly advise that you seek treatment from another physician. Don't say that you weren't warned. My wife and I will be filing a complaint with the California medical board.

He was extremely rude, and did not display one ounce of goodness or care about providing treatment. I’ve never come across a doctor this unprofessional in my entire life. This man should NOT be treating patients. Keep yourself and your family away from him. Horrible experience. I’m surprised there are not more bad reviews!

Rude, obnoxious, condescending, abusive, and a complete BULLY. Nobody deserves to be treated so disrespectfully, and this DO was loud, refused to lower his voice, listen to me, and walked out. I showed the same courtesy and left after him. He is a horrible person with zero bedside manner, and should not being treating patients.

Dr. Paul is an absolute miracle worker! While I’ve been seeing him over the past 14 yrs. he’s managed to care for me like a man would care for his wife! Nothing left out, nothing too insignificant for Dr Paul. Dr Paul is the consummate professional, and I know he saved my heart!!! Thank you so very much Dr Paul! Your patient, LC Shaw;
