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.

Wow I wasted a ton of money and time with this doctor who does not actually specialize in the field she advertises, thus putting tons of steroids in my eyes to ruin them. She bounced me back and forth to her retina specialist friend, when this doctor should have sufficed for my retina needs, thus stealing thousands of dollars from me with subpar care at the best. I would call the ethics board before I would ever see her again.

Wait time almost 4 hours! Lacks bedside manners. Doesn't care about patient well-being. I would not recommend!
