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.

Unprofessional. Wasn't wearing a mask. His comments and actions made me very uncomfortable, even with another woman in the room.

Had umbilical hernia surgery last Tuesday. Dr. Payha is fantastic along with everyone at Forbes. I have "white coat syndrome" and everyone took care of me so well. God bless you all.

Dr Payha is a fantastic Dr. he has great bed side manners ( with a little humor too) He speaks to you as so you can understand you medical diagnosis, he tells you straight out the true. He has operated on my husband 4 times due to hernia, and bile issues. Twice he saved his life by caring , if my husband would have listened to the attending Dr. which had filled in for the weekend, he would not be alive right now. However he puts all his trust in DR. Payha.
