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. Bremen has always been a great listener and has provided whatever services I need at the time. I would highly recommend him.

The worst doctor I ever saw. He wasn't interested in hearing about all of my symptoms and interrupted me frequently. I never did manage to give him all relevant information about my condition. He gave the impression of being in a hurry, trying to get rid of me and being somewhere else. I felt like grabbing him by his white coat every time he started walking to the door. In the end he told me to go to the emergency room (nice referral fee for him!) which was totally unnecessary in my case.

He was not helpful in urgent care. He was also rude to me and wouldn't listen to my symptoms. I ended up seeing my regular physician a few days later and needing 2 medications for my condition. I would never recommend him because of his poor attitude and bed side manner with paitents.
