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.

He is an outstanding doctor; the best I ever had! I recently moved to Boynton Beach and he is still my doctor. He is always on time (the office calls 3 days ahead and asks you to be there 15 minutes prior to your appointment). He takes the time to genuinely listen and always gives you his full attention. I highly recommend him!

Great experience especially you get your appointment on time. He reschedules people that are not capable to be on time a real plus for anybody else who is on time. Really appreciated.

Very strange doctor. If you are 10 minutes late, they cancel your appointment. Easy to get an appt. Very strict rules. If you are late they dismiss you, but try and get his office on the phone is a different story. You have a long wait. He is nice enough. But if I ever got stuck in traffic and was having a heart attack, and you were late, he would dismiss you.
