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. Shiovitz and his staff are one in a million! Been with him for close to 3 decades. I love this place.

I had to make an appointment for myself, and my doctor wasn't available, so I was seen by Dr. Shiovitz. Couldn't be happier with my experience. He took his time, listened to my concerns, and for the first time I found a doctor who cares. I like my current doctor, but I love Dr. S. (I'm pretty sure I'll be switching ??)

I needed a new family doctor (my husband and I had both not been to the doctor since we were kids and we're in our 30's now) so I did some research on Health Grades and found Dr. Shiovitz. I absolutely love him. First, their office is adorable and the staff very friendly. Dr. Shiovitz spent time chatting with me, really getting to know me. I truly believe he cares about me and my well being, and that is so important in today's get-them-in-get-them-out medical environment. So glad I found him!
