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.

Yes a very great doctor. He comes in and first asks how you and anyone else with you how you’re doing. Then he gets down to business and examines you while asking health questions. Once all medical questions and medical decisions are maid he then gets real freindly and let’s you know he really cares about you. Your just not a patient to him you’re also a friend to him.
