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.

Dr. Pai is knowledgeable/informed and concerned and nice. She is outstanding in her field--and beyond.

Dr. Pai was one of the best medical professionals I have ever seen. She was knowledgable, caring, and went above and beyond in her work in order to have me leaving without the same complication I arrived with. She was very attentive during my procedure and constantly made sure I was okay and not in too much pain during my incision and drainage. I can't recommend Dr. Pai enough, and will be returning to MedStar in order to receive the same exceptional level of care that I got today.
