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 hate to leave a bad review but this was possibly the worst medical experience I’ve had and I’ve seen many doctors. If there was a zero star option I would have clicked it. Among other things, he was incredibly rude to mom. I don’t care if someone is rude with me, but I draw the line when it’s family, especially an older respectable person. He also claimed I made up my disease and just like pretending to be sick. I was like, wow? Is this guy for real??

clearly does the absolute minimal medical care specifically when faced with a autistic patient. Would not recommend!
