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.

Ms. DiFiore was excellent, not only with the procedure but also with help in getting previous results from earlier, out-of-state tests. In addition, she personally contacted me in order to see if, because the previous procedures were not all inclusive, I would like a further test. She went out of her way to be sure I understood the situation. I very much appreciated dealing with someone so interested and helpful. I only wish all my medical providers were as friendly and professional as Michelle.

was misdiagnosed as not having lupus
I did not feel heard at my appointment with her nor did I get any reasonable conclusion for my symptoms she seemed a bit unsure about my symptoms honestly(maybe because I have a relatively milder case? but still the pain was really bad). I don't know if I didn't explain myself properly or she might have underestimated my symptoms or didn't understand? but anyways my flare really blew up shortly after my second appointment with her and I was getting restless so I got a second opinion where I got diagnosed with lupus and I started treatment with prednisone and HCQ and the difference is like night and day!
