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.

Rude, Condescending, Brow-Beater Without Sympathy
Unkind to me throughout our appointment. I've had a bad habit since I was abused as a teenager, and the way she spoke to me today was in a 'you need to get your act together' voice. I strive for improvement every day, I mentioned that my dad has the same problem, and she ignored me and didn't take me seriously. To make matters worse, we had an appointment scheduled at 3:00 and she didn't even come in until 4:12 PM. Extremely rude! On another note, I am a hard worker and I am NOT lazy. She talked down to me as though I were lazy, but I've gotten under cars and have had to deal with far more than she ever has. When I moved into my house, I had holes in my floor, rats nesting in one of the rooms, and I had to clean the house and fix it up. With the amount of money she makes, she has never seen a rat in a home or had to deal with a basically condemned home. If you're looking to make improvements to your life, you're gonna have to find a more supportive doctor.
