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.

Worst experience with a so called professional ever. He is rude egotistical and talked down to my whole family. We are a medical family. With aleast 6 RNs in our family. 2 of which are critical care RNs and they were there. Also my sister the patient is an RN also. We wanted a scan for fluids after a bowl resection. She was going into respiratory arrest with 70 breaths a minute! But he refused saying he was the DR. And he knew better. And to pride in his refusal! 52 days ICU is what we got!!
