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.

A great experience
On time, very efficient, a good communicator and is very professional. A 5 star Dr.

Very nice doctor
Dr. Abe has a great bedside manner. He never made me feel as if my issues were less than other people's issues. Hbe set me up with follow on procedures to help us make informed decisions as he wasn't able to say for sure what the issue is.
