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.

Outstanding Physician
Dr. Fernandez is one of the most empathetic physicians I have ever seen. She listens intently and never seems rushed. I am a physician and have never seen a doctor with better patient care skills or communication skills in over 25 years of practice . I feel so fortunate that she is caring for me.
