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.

This doctor only cares about money not your health
This doctors office is rude and unprofessional. I made appointment and they canceled on me three days before my visit. They told me to reschedule for April. I waited one month to see him and now he's unavailable until April. I would recommend finding a doctor that see his patients when there scheduled. His office manager is very confrontational and rude!!

My experience with the office was very good. BUT I think new patients should be told how they bill. I expected to be billed with a specialty co-pay.I was blind sided when the bill arrived.. Also charged separately with a clinic fee. When I checked in I asked if I could pay my co-pay now. She told me they will bill me later (techniquely that as not a lie). As a courtesy to new patients they should inform them. I had to wait 6 weeks for my appt, that would give them ample time to do that.
