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.

He did not care one single bit about my condition. He just wanted to see me and release me and the next day I ended up having to go to Baptist Hospital for emergency surgery. He did not take any time with me and seemed to care less about the amount of pain I was in. He just wants to see a patient and discharge when they really need to be admitted. This happened several times with this particular doctor and any other doctor I had seen for same condition immediately admitted me. He simply does not care about the patient, he cares more about getting them OUT the door.
