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.

I waited 6 weeks for an appt. and drove 40 minutes from my home. I arrived at office 10 minutes early, Patients were standing, no room to sit. My primary care doctor had not sent over the information for my referral. The office staff tried to help me in a courteous manner. Dr. Horlick was walking passed (never seen or met him before) and I asked if that was him. As I tried to get things arranged, he kept staring at me over & over again. Made me feel very uncomfortable. Left. Will not return.

I thought I was bit by an insect but Dr Horlick knew right away it was poison ivy. I had so many blisterers in one area and the itching was terrible. He gave me a foaming topical medication , the itching was gone the next day and all the blisters became leveled. Within two weeks the area was gone and healed. Thank you dr Horlick

When I called for an appointment, I gave my insurance information. When I went in the office, I was told the dr. was not on my medical plan and if I wanted to be seen, it would cost 200 dollars. I called my insurance- the dr. is STILL on the medical plan 6 months later. No one in the office has bothered to update it. If this office has such an uncaring attitude towards this kind of problem, how will they be with more complicated issues like lab results? My trust is gone. Not recommended.
