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.

Prescribing medication
He prescribed a type 1 diabetic a type 2 and weight-loss drug thats very popular. Then admitted that he wasn't sure it could be used by type 1 diabetics. For one, it can not be used by type 1 diabetics. For two, you've been a doctor for 25 years shouldn't you know to research a drug before prescribing it to a patient? I am very confused and concerned as to this doctor and his ability to treat patients. Oh that's right they call it ' practicing medicine ' for a reason.

Went in for a scheduled physical appointment that has been on calendar for approximately over a week. I received a phone call the DAY BEFORE to inform me that my health insurance was on service restricted mode. I then found the issue by calling my insurance and had it solved THE DAY BEFORE. In a few words I went in after fixing this issue ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME THEY CAN'T GIVE ME ANY SERVICE EVEN AFTER MY INSURANCE SPOKE TO THEIR FRONT DESK confirming that I am good to go. First and last time!
