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.

Unprofessional, uncaring, unkind

I’m genuinely confused as to why he went into medicine, he has a complete lack of empathy, he’ll ask a question and then start talking over you when you try to answer, he was dismissive of every concern and flat out RUDE.

Horrible consiltation
I agree with everything the other reviewers have said. This is the worst doctor visit (virtual or in person) that we have ever had. We could only see his forehead, couldn’t understand much of what he said, and he didn’t listen to anything we said. I’ve filed a complaint with my credit card company to reverse the charge because I honesty feel that I don’t owe the money for this five minute waste of time. We’ll see if they agree and fight it for us.

Bad pediatrician
Telehealth
Run away if you see him for virtual consultations, he is just collecting his payment and not interested in helping your child. Spoke with us for a minute, didn't care about any of the alarming symptoms, just told us to 'wait it out'. Plain awful! Another caring doctor immediately knew our kid had a strep throat. It was during holidays and we couldn't see someone in person at the time so we had to use virtual health. This doctor straight up doesn't care about your child!

Run away

Condescending with a lack of listening or understanding. Also does video calls with only his forehead showing, which is unprofessional and weird.
