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.

Excellent doctor to visit.
For once I came out of a specialist visit with encouragement to address my problem. I have had a number of specialists who also are excellent. I did notice the eye contact and listening skill of Dr. Eker in working with a new patient. He and his PA made me feel not at all rushed! This is so rare in most doctor visits, as they seem to be on a time schedule to close a visit after 15 minutes tops!
