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.

Pcp sent me 3xs to see him or his NP. Very rude, made me feel like I was crazy. Actually said to me "you act like you want a heart condition" complained and got another doctor. Have pacemaker now. Don't see this guy or his NP

I'm sure that Dr. Mekala is a fine doctor.His group, Sound Inpatient Physicians of Michigans is horrible for billing. My husband was diagnosed on Jan. 15, 2017 at Genesy with lymphoma. Dr. Mekala must have been one of the many doctors involved.Have received a bill for over $1400.00 from Sound. HAP says Sound never requested approval. Sound says that is not their responsibility, should be the hospital's, refuses to take responsibility, would not answer calls from our HAP representitive.
