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.

what a flop
I did not get anything out of the visit with her - because she just kept me on the same exact meds that have not been working at all. Which is the whole reason I went there to begin with. And she lectures. Nonstop. Who knows about what, but her nonstop yapping definitely had nothing to do with my medicine, my condition, or even me at all. She just was talking about all kinds of stuff but none of it was relevant. And she refused to let me speak a single word. A total flop and I am not going to see her a 2nd time. Once was definitely enough.

explicate that I dislike this mean 'doctor' a lot
she was really mean and tried hard to hold back medication so that I wouldn't sleep. she said 'well you slept 8 days ago when you had your endoscopy for about 3.5 hours from the anesthesia' and then talked about endoscopies and anesthesia for 13.5 minutes to cover for her verbal abuse from the session two days prior which she knew had been recorded and was going to be reported. I asked her to be a better doctor and she looked at witness number 4 and said 'I can't! I can't!!'
