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.

This is a great practice. The level of attention given to patients by every member of the staff is impressive. These people take customer service very seriously. I hardley ever wait more than five minutes before being seen. Dr. Watsky is very thorough and even keeled, and has instilled confidence over the years while helping me manage several chronic conditions very sucessfully.

I found my experience with Dr. Watsky to be one if the best I've had with an MD in awhile. I felt he was truly concerned about my wellbeing and I left feeling hopeful; which is something I haven't felt regarding my health in quite awhile. I would recommend Dr. Watsky to anyone.
