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.

Don't bother her
Her office couldn't keep track of x-rays or my records. When found, area of concern on x-rays may or may not be cancer. Wait and see. And so what, I wasn't young anymore. My goodness I was only 68! Then pointed to chart - asked me which COPD medications my plan would pay for. How would I know. I'd just been diagnosed. Was more interested in getting me into sleep study. 2nd and 3rd appt lost records and x-rays again. Went elsewhere, thank goodness. Can't believe I wasted time with her.
