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.

Terrible bedside manner, very uncaring
I would not recommend him as a doctor, there are much better physicians in this group!

Travesty
It's a travesty that he's allowed to work with children. Not only did he spend a mere 38 seconds observing my daughter in the ER, his write up was completely false as he had no clue about the history which had been going on for 9 weeks. He refused to help my daughter based on the recommendation of a GI specialist who had been working with us the whole time. He should be thankful I wasn't in the room when he refused to help. If you care about your child, avoid him!

Terrible Doctor!
terrible! he does not care for his patient nor the parent of the patient. He disregarded al input and forced an unwanted protocol on my daughters. DOES NOT EVEN DESERVE ONE STAR.
