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.

Not a friendly doctor
He gets upset when talking to me. He acted like he did not want to be there. He also got irritated as well while talking to me and treated me like a second class citizen or his enemy. I was at the urgent care trying to get help, but after getting treated by this doctor, will never come back.

  • Staff friendliness

I see this doctor has some negative reviews, to be fair, the man comes across a little cold but as a doctor he is everything you want in a doctor. He knows his trait and is very competent. He will not hold your hand and sugarcoat things you need to hear. He diagnosed my congestive heart failure early after going to other doctors. The medications have been "miraculous" in the type of improvement I've had. He really deserves 5 stars to say the least.
