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.

Dr. Podkowirow has been the primary care provider for both myself and my husband for years now. We adore her. She's a wonderful communicator and a whiz with the patient portal. I frequently recommend her to friends and will continue to do so.

Dr. Podkowirow is the best primary care physician I’ve ever had! She’s thoughtful and considerate, but more importantly, she’s incredibly thorough and an excellent communicator. As a patient, I feel that she has a genuine care for my well being. She’s also very quick to respond to messages on the portal and always has time for short notice appointments.
