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.

Rushing patients. Didn’t make me feel comfortable or heard. Didn’t mention what he was doing and made rude comments.

Worst experience I've ever had w a doctor & doctors office....zero communications skills...nobody calls you back, there is absolutely no communication within the office w the so called nurses! I changed my mind about having surgery & chose to have ablation done instead so of course he wants to see me to tell the exact things I already know because we have already talked about it my first appt w him! I can't get an appt for over a month!! Same w the first appt I made!! I would give ZERO stars!

He introduced himself every appointment, he didn't look at my chart to know I had seen him 5-6 times before. Has 0 communication skills, never letting me know the results of tests. Sent me to blood work & Ultrasounds without letting me know. The nurse let me know as I was making my next appointment. For my 20 week anatomy scan I suddenly got paperwork in the mail that I had been referred. Moving to a new OBGYN was the best thing I did for myself and for my baby. Wish I could give 0 stars.

Horrible. Was very generic. Uses old equipment and does not care about his clients. Lies a lot. Does not disclose that he works with other Dr.'s. He can't wait to go to the next patient so he collects the insurance money. Very sad. Would give him 0 stars if possible.
