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.

Dr. Castro is the worst doctor I have every had in my life. He is very sarcastic and rude. He never cared to take the time to figure out what was wrong with me. He would prescribe me a bunch of pointless medications. He is arrogant and I would never recommend him to anyone because if you had a serious illness he would most likely be the reason of your death due to poor medical attention. He doesn't even deserve one star. I finally set up my Kaiser account and changed doctors.

Dr. Castro is incompetent and inconsiderate and I deeply regret not finding a new doctor sooner.
