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.

This doctor shouldn't be practicing medicine. If he had taken care of my problem instead of telling me to come back in 6 months, I would not be facing chemotherapy now. He was not at all like a doctor should be. Forget going to him. Find someone else.

I found the man to me very egotistical and controlling, not "patient-centered".

The best doctor that I have seen. Made me feel extreamly calm and comfortable before my procedure. Gave all of the information that I needed and asked if I had any questions before and after the procedure. I would recommend Dr shaker to anyone who is going to have any procedure done.
