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.

Doesn’t care about patients
I won’t see her anymore. She had me waiting for over 30 minutes for my ultrasound appointment and I had a horrible headache. I finally walked over to the nurse’s office to find her chatting with the nurses and I asked I’m sorry but how much longer? I’ve been waiting for over 30 minutes and I have a really bad headache. She said it can take this long sometimes. Every time I see her specifically, it’s been a 30+ minute wait. During the appointment I expressed my concerns about my headaches. She said she was going to prescribe me medication, but never did it. I called 3 times in one week to ask the nurses to have her prescribe it and to leave her a message. She did after a month when I was at my NEXT ultrasound appointment with a NP and had complained about it.

The kindest Ob/Gyn doctor
I have seen Dr T twice now. I’m 64, so the visits weren’t for pregnancy. I find Dr T to be very kind and compassionate. She isn’t rushed, and takes her time to ask if you are scared, and explains everything well. She discusses your entire health with you, not just the gyn issues. I am very happy with her care and recommend her highly.
