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.

Very rude and unprofessional! He came highly recommended by a well-known Internist in Philly, as well as family members. It was an awful experience from the start. I waited one week to even get an appointment with him, another week to have them schedule an MRI. Upon my first appointment, after waiting more than one hour to be seen, he mentions MRI and possible surgery. He saw me for less than 5 mins and was walking out the door as I'm still asking questions. He seemed annoyed by that.

Very evassive surgen, lied to me, caused me more pain, by not putting screws in the broken clavicle, but missed and put them in the ac joint, causing me to have a second surgery to remove all hardware.
