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. Lachar was an out of network physician working at my in-network hospital. He admitted me for a surgery that was not medically necessary. His 5 minute visit with me cost me thousands of dollars. Ethically, I have issues with doctors who practice surprise billing, up coding, and recommend medically unnecessary procedures.
