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.

Selling false dreams! guess money can’t buy morals
He came off very knowledgeable but one that went to Harvard would I guess! Let my baby rott by selling us false hope that he could make it knowing a child septic on echmo didn’t have a fighting chance I can still smell something dead and ptsd kicks in!!!! I only had (him) my only child and he chose to practice a new surgery on my baby!!! Telling me he would turn 5 and not be able to play and that this surgery will give him more air later on!!!! I wonder how he sleeps at night thinking of all the babies he has killed practicing new surgeries on…. Who chose me and my baby!!!! He was new in my city and seeing he isn’t here anymore speaks volumes!!!! Was it because we weren’t wealthy enough given we had governments health insurance cause when he was born I couldn’t go back to work due to his conditions!!!! I know GOD sits high and watches low may he have mercy on his soul!!!!
