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.

Worst doctor ever and that's saying a lot. He was rude negligent and incompetent. He threw paper towels at me when I was crying from as yet undiagnosed shingles in my eye. Blamed me because I don't have a primary care physician. Left me in pain and later lied about his behavior. I'm 75 years old and was both age and gender shamed. After reporting him to the hospital I was informed, by his supervisor, in a letter, that I received the appropriate treatment. No apology for the outrageous behavior. Typical blaming the victim. This so-called doctor has NO positive reviews and is a disgrace to the profession. Fortunately, (in this case) my low income status relieved me of having to pay for the visit.

Arrogant and negligent lack of treatment almost resulted in my death. Had to go to another hospital for emergency heart surgery after he dismissed my complaints.
