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.

We are so lucky to have Dr. Athay! She Is listens carefully to both my daughter and myself, takes time to make the visit fun, and always gives sound advice. She is a treasure!

Dr. Athay is top tier. It's hard to find a provider for your child that you trust and connect with completely, I have found that for my children in Dr. Athay. She is appreciated more than words can express.

My wife brought in our autistic son for the second time, first time Dr Athay never got back to us about our son's growth rate, etc. She proceeded to give my wife direct comments about what kind of father I was and starting giving my wife relationship advice( which has nothing to do with pediactrics) causing drama and arguments in our marriage. I do not recommend her for anything nor would I ever go back.
