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.

Our daughter had ITP back in 1996-7,and Dr Bob did a splenectomy. Today she is married, a runner, with 2 beautiful children. It was our decision, but a good call on Dr Bob's part. Many thanks to you after all this time.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Ettinger?
He treated our 16-17 yr old daughter for a brain tumor, which you see here he no longer treats. We asked for a conference to tell us all about our child's diagnosis and treatments available. He never held a meeting with us. He was unavailable. When asked if he ever treated a child with this tumor, he turned his back to me and walked off. He spent only rout sting round when she was in hospital. He spent no time with us or her in clinic visits. YET HE DID SHOE UP THE MORNING SHE DIED.
