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.

She is a very compassionate Dr .
I always have my daughter on the phone with me everytime I see the Dr and she explains everything about my tests very good. So even I can understand. My daughter is a nurse who is there for me so she can explain everything to the rest of the family.

She Saved My Life
Dr. D is a wonderful physician with incredibly good instincts. During the course of investigating one issue, she discovered a small nodule in my lung that turned out to be cancer (my 3rd kind). The nodule was biopsied and removed with no further treatment necessary. If she hadn't ordered a CT scan with contrast of the whole torso, the cancerous nodule would still be on my lung until I had symptoms.

Dr Draksharam
I always have to get blood drawn first. Then I wait to be called back to the office. I love Dr Draksharam. She is very 'cut and dry'. She takes time to answer all questions and explains if you have questions. I recomment highly.
