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.

Sent me HOME in DKA!
Nice guy but I had been projectile vomiting for 5 days straight, secondary to a bad reaction to one dose of Ozempic! I am also a brittle diabetic! 2 bags of IV fluids and 2 different Antiemetics IV and was STILL puking! But because my blood sugar, FINALLY, came down?(AFTER 10 injections OF insulin that day at home) He sent me packing! When I SHOULD have BEEN ADMITTED! Mind you, I HAVE great insurance! I came back two days later and was, FINALLY, admitted by a DIFFERENT physician! To ICU no less. And EVERY single person I encountered was astounded and shocked that this guy sent me home two days prior! EVERY nurse and doc that saw me!! I NEVER should've been sent home that first ER visit! DKA (Diabetic Ketoacidosis) IS an incredibly dangerous illness that CAN turn on a dime, INTO multi system organ failure AND brain swelling!. THAT happens? You ARE done for! But, thankfully, I was a nurse! BUT what if I'd just been a layperson? And DIDN'T know? Anyone ELSE would have DIED at home!
What went well
  • Staff friendliness
What could be improved
  • Didn't listen or answer questions
  • Didn't explain conditions well
  • Appointment was rushed
  • Didn't trust the provider's decisions
  • Long wait times
