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.

He shows no interest in the patient, even after trying to tell him all the symptoms. He does not give patients the chance to speak, and he says he’s not interested in hearing stories of the symptoms. He was very rude, and as a parent, disregarded all of my concerns as if they had no meaning or significance— would not recommend him at all.
