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.

Great Doctor
I Would recommend "Dr Sam". I was able to get my health concerns addressed and get on the medication I needed.

Dr. Suthan did not take a very concerning issue I was going through very seriously at all. I do not recommend him if you want exceptional care.

I've been seeing Dr. Suthan for about a year and a 1/2. He always listens to my opinions regarding my medications and takes his time during my visits to answer my questions. I have recommended others to him and will again in the future.
