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.

I call his practice "The Bill Mill on Washington St". I'll get right to the point, he is constantly late, constantly be interrupted by phone calls during ones appointment, keeps sloppy inaccurate notes and will bill your insurance for every little thing even if it is not relevant to your appointment. This Quack is running a scam that everyone should be alerted to, Example: if you come in to his office with just about any medical condition he will make you take a breathing test on some old crummy machine and probably and EKG even if you have a fractured toe. Then those results are not even shared with you. I have heard of others who's insurance companies have been bilked by him. Finally, a check up consists of a blood pressure check and that's it. There is no real medicine going one here, just looking to bill, bill, bill. In addition, one can tell on other websites that he writes his own glowing reviews. He would have been better qualified to be an ambulance chasing lawyer. Beware
