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.

My appointment with Dr. Mary (Aly) Terra was the worst doctor's appointment I have ever had. She didn't believe that I was not sexually active, seemed very bothered when I told her that I was considering natural family planning as a form of birth control in the future if I became sexually active, and generally seemed to not really care about my concerns. I also needed to have a routine pap smear done during my appointment, and Dr. Terra made me feel very violated. She did not listen when I told her that it hurt a lot, and told me in response "Well, it probably doesn't hurt that much. It'll be over soon so just wait it out." This is absolutely unacceptable, and I still get anxiety years later whenever I need a pelvic exam. (Even from different doctors who do actually listen to me). Dr. Terra's disregard for her patients' needs, feelings, and beliefs is clearly evident. Find a different doctor, please, for your own well-being.

She like most D.O.'s thinks only they are correct, she developed a bias towards patients she does not like, her inability to follow up with bad laboratory reports does not exist. You might fair better seeing a veterinarian.
