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.

Dr. Kafka is amazing. He has been very thoughtful about medical care for my two boys. They are completely comfortable with him and like going to their appointments. He explains things in detail and is always available to answer questions. I stay with Sharp mainly so that my kids can continue to see him.

Dr. Kafka and his staff are punctual and take time with their patients. They patiently explain procedures, vaccinations, etc and have never made me feel rushed. I am very happy with the quality of care we receive from them.
