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.

Terrible ER doctor
I've been at Marietta Memorial Several times, and this Dr has mistreated me every single time I've seen him. Not only does he invalidate my pain, but he has never once tried to offer any way to help my pain, and he has consistently refused to do proper testing to see what's wrong. He once got extremely rude with me about not wanting an ultrasound, after I'd just had one a week earlier and it showed nothing. I recently went in for post operation pain, and he was very rude to me and very invalidating. He told me not to take the meds I was given for post op, and to take acetaminophen, when I was in severe pain from having a surgery and had been prescribed medication already. I do not recommend this Dr to anyone. If you get assigned him as your Dr in the ER, I suggest asking for a different Dr.
