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 a joke
This is by far the worst 'doctor' I have ever in my life encountered. He 100% works for the man rather than providing accurate patient care. He does not do evaluations on his patients and he likes to belittle his patients. He gets offended if you ask for a second opinion. I'm glad I did, because after 6 weeks I have finally seen a real MD and will be getting the treatment I should have received from the start. I don't know how this man is able to sleep at night. When you become a doctor, you're supposed to do it for the right reasons. Either he never did, or he forgot how. I would be embarrassed to call myself a medical provider if I were him.

He actually listens to what I have to say when we are discussing my medical issue, and he works with me to find the best solution without prescribing a while lot of medications. I respect that.

Typical “good ol’ boys” provider
I saw this doctor when I was being released from PT for a work related injury. I’m glad that I didn’t see him when I first reported the incident because he was extremely condescending and didn’t seem to care about the circumstances surrounding the incident. He basically placed blame on me for being injured even though I followed all procedures outlined by my employer to avoid being put in a situation where I would be injured. I would not recommend him and if you are seeing him for worker’s comp I am sorry. The other doctor I saw the previous 2 times was great.

My goddaughter was seen by this unscrupulous doctor for a Worker’s Compensation injury. He did not listen to her regarding anything dealing with her injury. He stated he doesn’t work for the patient he works for the company that pays him. Even though her personal medical doctor told her she is unable to do her job with her injury. This doctor cleared her to go back to work full duty. This is the total opposite of what the oath every doctor takes to ‘cause no harm’. If she goes back to work the public is at risk because her injury prevents her from doing her job safely. This doctor should be written up for his lack of professionalism and violating his oath for the Company and not caring for the patient.
