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.

Do not recommend !!!!
She takes over an hour to even get into the room and see you. Once she is in there, she is rushed and has terrible bed side manner. She doesn't take patient complaints seriously and downplays them.

No matter what you tell her about your symptoms, how u feel , etc, she doesn't take it seriously and honestly I think she has her hands full and really can't sit or focus on the patient she's with and rushes them out like everything is fine , when it's not ! Another thing because, she has so many paitents the wait time is always close to 2hours to see her ! That to me is ridiculous!! She needs to listen to her patients and actually do something about their problems and concerns about theirhealth
