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.

Best doctor
I have been a patient for quite awhile and I will never see another oncologist. She is patient, thorough and very knowledgeable. She is the third oncologist I have seen since my breast cancer odessy began in 2010, and as I said, my last! Thank you Dr. Carcas for everything you do.
