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.

My daughter was admitted to a local hopital with a very nasty case of cellulitus. The nurse and the attending physician asked for Dr.Swaminathan to come and see us, but she refused. We were very concerned as the cellulitus was spreading after 36 hours on three different types of antibiotics, and even with some heavy duty narcotics, the pain was fairly severe. My husband is a surgeon in another state, and was shocked at her refusal to see our daughter. Minimal rating for non-existing service.
