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 I have ever visited in my 50+ years of middle ear issues. Had middle ear infection and after several visits was told "I just have to deal with it". Visited a different ENT who cleared the problem in 4 days.

I wish everyone could read this before having to see him. Sorry I wasted his time. That’s what he made me feel, wish I didn’t have Kaiser and had my own doctors again. I thanked him for his time and walked out. Horrible experience

Refused to treat broken nose when seen within 48 hours of occurrence. Claimed my problem was deviated septum (which had never been noticed before), and that my nose was bent to the left, when in fact it was bent to the right. I felt that he was making fun of me, rather than addressing my concerns.
