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.

Would NEVER recommend him to anyone. He kept my mother sitting in a wheelchair in an exam room for 4 hours while the nurse kept coming in to apologize and say "just a few more minutes". She finally came in and said he would be in soon, apologized again and said, He likes to talk". He wasn't even seeing patients!! We were leaving when he finally strolled down the hall. He spent less than 2 minutes saying it would be a very serious surgery coming up. We knew that!! She was exhausted. Never!
