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.

On call pediatrician at Brandon HCA
When my daughter was born, our normal peds didn't come to Brandon HCA so we had to use the dr on call at the hospital which was Dr. Kanarek. He was very rough with our new born and when asked if he could come back a little later because we had just gotten our newborn to sleep (after trying for an hour), he ignored our request and said 'Oh I'll be quick'. He yanked her out of her swaddle and pajamas, she started crying while he did. When he was finished, he just left. didn't dress her back up or wrap her back up. We were furious as new parents. We ended up complaining to the hospital manager about him.

This doctor has a nasty attitude and calls dcf on parents over vaccines. I wouldn't recommend him to anyone.
