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!
Listened to what I had to say. Explained clearly as to what I need done. Did not rush. Answered all of my questions with details that I was able to understand. Did not talk down to me as some people in the medical field do to their patients.

Doctor Tarigopula was very calm and that made me calm because I was very anxious when I arrived. The staff also put me at ease. Both doctor and staff explained explained everything that was going to happen and why throughout my entire visit. That was important to me. Overall, a definite five star staff and visit

Top Professional
The doctor came to the room visit me before the procedure and she was very kind. She checked on me and her words were very comforting for a nervous patient. Her smile really helped and her professionalism was appreciated. I had an opportunity to ask questions and discuss anything that was on my mind. Very well done with the procedure.
