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.

Great doctor, terrible care by the office
Dr. Siska is terrific, but her office is a nightmare. if you need an appointment, you will wait four months for a physical, and if you have an appointment set, you will wait at least an hour in the exam room before she shows up. Her office will make you feel like the least important speck of dust daring to take up space. She is overloaded and while she cares about you when you are in front of her, her office treats you like garbage when you are not in front of her.
