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.

Condescending, dismissive and arrogant. Not informed on latest treatment for my disorder. Physical examination was cursory and not appropriate for my condition. Unwilling to engage in discussion on treatment options. Terrible.

He is honest and will say straight up what needs to be said regardless of its what you want to hear or not. He a compassionate side to him too. At first I use to get a little annoyed by his constant reading of my records as soon as he would come in but now I appreciate it. He takes time to make sure he is fully up to date with your progress... Which is far betree than other doctors. He is thorough and spends time listening to you and explaining things.
