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.

Horrible!!!
I saw her a year and a half ago-after waiting for 9 months to get an appointment (for a positive Ana and extreme inflammation) she thought it would be best to not put me on meds at that time but to reach out to her with any concerns. Well, I did reach out to her. I had Covid and was having some post covid issues and wanted to be re-evaluated by her. I got an appointment and the day before the appointment she had her office staff call me to cancel it. I questioned why and they said that she read my file over and doesn’t need to see me again. I was at astonished that she wouldn’t see me. I explained I would like new bloodwork and to be seen since I had problems from Covid and people can change in a year and a half. They still refused. This office and doctor are a joke and extremely unprofessional. I am still in shock at the lack of compassion for a patient. I can’t stress enough not to go to this office!!!!! I wouldn’t even give it one star!

Small town dr
In her own words she is a small town doctor that does very limited things that she specializes in and if you want more extensive care you need to go elsewhere. My family member had a horrible experience and was misdiagnosed and the Dr refused to help her.
