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. Safdar was the 5th doctor I had been sent to in order to try and figure out what was going on with me. Out of 5 doctors and 4 ER visit he was the only one who took responsibility of me and my health. I saw him on Tuesday I was admitted into the hospital before the week was up. He saved my life. If I had gone to the weekend I would have died. After i was discharged he called me at home during the week to check on me. He went to great lengths to help me.
