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.

I can honestly say Dr. Shapiro Came very highly recommended by a friend [...], and he definitely lived up to that expectation! I feel very satisfied after seeing and speaking with him and getting his opinion. If I do end up needing any back surgery in any kind of way I will definitely be calling Dr. Shapiro
