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.

Horrible experience
He was working with fellows on the day of my appointment. The sign board in the waiting room said that he was running on time but I wasn't even called back until 45 minutes past my appointment time. I had a better experience with the fellow I saw than I did the doctor. The fellow took time to evaluate my condition and ask a bunch of questions and they explained things in plain terms with compassion. The doctor comes in the room and he was talking really fast and pushing for surgeries that could be rather dangerous that while they could be beneficial I don't think that they're the solution for my condition. His big focus was my weight and reducing it. I have mobility problems and he was suggesting an extreme amount of exercises well. He very much came across as fat phobic which is funny because he's big himself.

I have seen him once in person. Trying to deal with his nurses to schedule a periocentisis is not conducive to my need of a regularly scheduled appointment to relieve my fluid retention, which is an average of 7.0 litres per procedure.
