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.

Do not let him treat you!
Do not let him treat you! He didn’t listen to anything I said gave me an obscene amount of morphine without asking me continued to give it until I could barely talk and then proceeded to tell me it was just my period even though it was in fact not my period. He did not check on me and let his nurse do everything she was amazing and lovely while he prescribed me enough morphine to almost have me OD then sent me home while I could barely walk or talk. worst experience I’ve ever had anywhere

His care of my husband was excellent and complete. The wait time is the nature of emergency rooms and a reason to avoid them. We have no complaints about the physician or other staff.

I left my Review once but it was gone, My Father a 92 yr old 2 time Marine and Lifetime Firefighter , was taken by ambulance to the ER, fell and bashed his head into wall bleeding from his face with multiple contusions all over his body, and very dis oriented stated his birthday was in the 1800s and he just turned 102 highly unordanary for him, had a couple tests ran and released against our will in a total of 2 hrs, they didnt even examine his body, he had a large cut on his face they almost didnt even touch it, right before he left the dr told the nurse as blood was running down his face you might want to put a bandaid on that? Also they did the sticky part right on the cut !!

Worse experience of my life. Never got an answer. Let his nurse basically treat me. Didn’t look at my charts for meds I’m currently on. Didn’t seem to care was as if I was a bother.
