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.

Outstanding!!
My visit started out with the very nice ladies at the front desk. Kelly, and I am sorry that I have forgotten the other ladies name, were so helpful, friendly, caring, patient and kind. Dr.. Tarkan has a soothing and friendly and caring personality!! He answers any questions you have, and is very compassionate and very thorough. It is nice to have a doctor that smiles a lot and makes you feel so 'taken care of' when you leave. I would give Dr. Tarka 10 star rating.I feel very lucky to be his patient.
