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.

I have never had a worse experience with a physician, in all my years. My wife went to the ER with acute pancreatitis. She was doubled over from the pain. This individual told her to take pain meds and go home. Two hours later she was being admitted to another hospital. The following day she had emergency surgery. You be the judge.

I came to gulf coast with symptoms of extreme nausea and vertigo. After waiting SIX HOURS in the waiting room lafferty saw me for less than four minutes and sent me home with anti-nausea meds. Less than 12 hours later I had a STROKE. If you have the options of either seeing lafferty or accepting your impending death then i'd go home and make sure your will is in order, because those options are functionally the same.

My doctor sent me to the ER for extreme abdominal pain. Dr. Lafferty checked for gall stones only and then told me to go home and call my doctor. Even informed me that if I'm not dying, I don't belong in the ER. Seriously a rude and unprofessional man who put my life in danger because he didn't want to bother with me.
