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.

Couldn't imagine going elsewhere!
Dr. M is down to earth and straightforward and he takes his job very seriously. I feel like I can ask him anything and he will treat me with respect and answer my questions without talking down to me. He really engage his patients in a partnership of care and encourages team care, consulting with other specialists. I literally trust him with my life.

Dr. Molakatalla did a procedure on me. He was wonderful at explaining it before the procedure. He was great after. He even called me on a Sunday afternoon to check on me and give me results. Still having some issues so he had me do another test and he called me that evening himself with the results. His office couldn't get me in for a follow up for a few months so Dr. M scheduled me in the very next day so he could see me to go over next treatment plan. he is wonderful!
