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.

The Great Dr. Patel!
Dr. Patel was spot-on with a rare blood disorder diagnosis. Treatment was prompt and now I’m in remission. Dr. Patel is kind, caring, attentive, professional and I’m very fortunate that Dr. Ryan (another excellent physician at The Woodlands referred me). The Woodlands is an excellent physician-owned medical facility. You are in the best care with these doctors and nurses.

My Oncologist for close to a decade
He and his office on Davis Hwy were good, fast, thorough, and professional. I also do my imaging and did my chemo with that Woodlands and have no complaints. It was an all round good experience.
