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.

Dr. Haberthier saw me once after performing an endoscopy and a colonoscopy. She could not or would not answer a question that pertained to a test result. Wanted me to take a prescription that would that would cause additional harm to a condition that I already had. Would not return my call when I had a question about my record that I obtained from her office.

Dr. Haberthier saw me once and order two tests. I was and am still in a great deal of pain. I tried to reach her through her staff to either set up an appointment or discuss some options on the phone. She would not call me back and her staff said she was very busy as she had hospital duties. They also said they could not make her call me. They told me three time to go to the ER. I did this at a cost of $450 only to come up with no more knowledge of the problem.
