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.

Worst experience
I walked out of my appointment because he wouldn’t listen to me, he talked over me, and tried to make me relieve horrible experiences on the first appointment and then told me that those shouldn’t still effect me because it’s been so long

Only doctor that would push for me to get the meds I need. You learn to appreciate his dry personality.
