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.

The outcomes driven doctor
Dr. Apte is my primary physician and I can't recommend him more. He is one of the rare doctors in the current health system (which is incredibly unjust system on its own) that deeply cares about patient's health outcomes , rather than just stats or what insurance will dictate. I have been visiting him for the past 4 years and can only say good things about each wellness or health check visits which I wasn't able to find prior to him.

After moving to Tri-Valley I picked a doc in relative proximity and ended up with Dr Apte. I appreciate the doc a lot: never rushed, answers questions, explains his thinking. Staff is friendly and wait times are short. Definitely recommend.
