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.

Inadequate medical decisions and poor attitude.
My wife was in crisis situation in ICU after having a six hour surgery for oral cancer. Dr. Sommers mishandled the event and put my wife in jeopardy with an inadequate cursory examination. He also reprimanded me for making an emotional plea to get my wife help in a life and death situation. He also misstated the truth when question by the patient relation board. His behavior is unforgivable and his medical skills are suspect.
