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 always book the first appointment no matter how early. Even waiting, Dr. Zdanowitz is the most caring and knowledgeable doctor I've ever seen. Many people in the waiting room complain about the waiting time but all agree he is worth waiting for. He doesn't rush through a visit when seeing a patient and is very thorough.
