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.

I found Dr. Baker to be rude and condescending, with no bedside manner whatsoever. She treated me like I was making up my symptoms. The details I was describing were fairly textbook for an inguinal hernia. She never thought to order a scan of any sort. She referred me to another urologist, who eventually referred me to an interventional radiologist who scheduled me for a CT scan. There it was, and I’d had the inguinal hernia for as long as I’d had symptoms.
