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.

My experience wasn't good and I never even met him! I waited an hour for my first visit and he never came in nor did anyone else to let me know he was running so late. I just left, It says a lot about someone who runs their business that way.

Dr. Totora is a very pleasant doctor. So easy to talk too and of course very informative. He alway seems to either know someone you know or know someone who went to your kids college. Nice doctor.
