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.

Worst oncologist to exist
Did not explain treatment plan or give options when asked to. Used personal info to attempt to guilt trip me into excessive treatment. During a different appt she started ripping me shirt off of me and did not ask nor allow me to myself when I was in severe pain from a large tumor growing outside my chest. Promised to start treatment the next Friday. Sent a nasty note the following Thurs morn accusing me of skipping a pet scan that day when the machine had broken down 2 hours prior to my appt time and I was unable to. Had her staff call me and tell me that my treatment would not start as planned the next day due to this. I had rearranged my entire life around starting treatment and was highly upset about this as I was in great pain. She then had the police come to my home 3 hours after this call right as I was leaving to go there for the training class to start my chemo. They detained me for over an hour because she wanted me locked in a psych Ward. Denied my chemo and left me in pain.
