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.

She basically does nothing other than ignore you as a patient and tell you to go to the ER.

I had the pleasure of visiting with Dr. Kristyn Essad while taking my mother to her routine appointment. Dr. Essad went above and beyond in making my mother feel at ease and cared for. Dr. Essad was not only exceptionally kind and personable, but she took the time to really understand the health concerns of my mother and answer all of our questions. Her thorough health assessment and attention to detail demonstrated her dedication to providing comprehensive care. It is rare to find a doctor who combines medical expertise with genuine compassion, and my mother could not have been happier with the experience. I highly recommend going to Dr. Kristyn Essad as your family practice doctor.

Dr. Essad is very caring and professional at the same time. she does a very good job at making sure you feel connected with her and comfortable in the office. She doesnt stop until she figued out what was wrong and got to the very root of my health issue. She also made sure i really understood what was wrong with me, unlike doctors who just blabber medical jargon in my ear. I intend to stay Dr. Essads' patient for a very long time.
