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.

Will not be returning. My concerns were not listening to and my child was just pushed off to the nurses. Terrible experience.

1 star is too many. Would never recommend if he was the only doctor available. He misdiagnosed, ordered an improper test and if we had not gone to Emery and instead followed his course of treatment, our child would have NEVER been ok. Zero trust in is medical decisions.

I was originally pleased with the Dr. He seemed to be very knowledgeable and friendly, however, he has done nothing to help except pass me off to the nurse practitioner. He told me at the visit he would look over her blood work and decide if an endoscopy was needed. Never heard from him again, called twice with no call back. Now have to start over with nurse, after charging hundreds of dollars. I am so frustrated. I have been going in circles with drs for 2 years and no one will help!!
