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.

By FAR one of the WORST doctors and offices to go to. Between my mother and I calling in daily for medications that she was prescribed and they never sent them til over a month later. Now she’s been on medications and insulin for 2 weeks, has gained 30lbs, and sugars are either severely low (50’s) or severely high with hardly eating (400’s), they don’t give a crap about patients and their care there. My mother has one of the hardest forms of diabetes with is basically having type 1 & 2 at the same time. Called in today being the 3rd day in a row, and her having to leave work early yesterday scared out of her mind bc of her levels, he never once called her! After 2 urgent messages were put through! Yet he wanted to call her number for a whole other patient yesterday, not for her, and hung up the phone. Wasn’t even a “hold on let me grab your chart” thing. Do NOT have you or your loved ones go here! They will NOT get the care they need and deserve!!
