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.

We had an absolutely unacceptable experience with this provider. My husband and I are deeply appalled by his behavior during our visit, as well as his complete lack of professionalism and bedside manner. We have already reached out to management regarding this matter and will be taking immediate steps to change providers.

Condescending and rude
He questioned why I was in the hospital for 2 days after giving birth and why my newborn child stayed with me in the hospital… he was rude and condescending. Baby had some weight gain issues and he did not come up with any plan to help us figure out why. Just wanted weight checks every two days. As first time parents, he made us feel horrible.
