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.

Cardiac clearance required, not completed in time
I would NOT recommend this doctor. I saw him because I needed a Cardiac Clearance before a minor surgery. He ordered two tests that were completed. He did not call me with the results and he did not send the info over to the surgeon. The morning before my operation, the surgeon's office called to say they did not have the necessary paperwork and 'perhaps I could have an over-the-phone consult...' Long story short, the operation was canceled because of insufficient paperwork from Dr Oliver's office. 7 days off my meds in anticipation of the procedure and a long wait to have the operation rescheduled.

Dr was rude, impatient, used foul language and had the nerve to tell me I did not have a particular illness that he knew nothing about. He is way past his retirement age as far as competence, care, and is just an indecent person

Dr. Oliver is a very caring doctor. He took the time with me to discuss my situation and I didn't have an appointment. He's caring and doesn't make you feel bad if you're scared. Thank you Dr. Oliver. Drs like you are hard to find.
