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.

Overall, excellent experience. I trust the provider with my care and my surgery. My surgery is two full months out, unfortunately, but I am willing to wait to work with the provider. The one piece of feedback I have is regarding compassion and trauma-informed care: when someone expresses co cern for previous doctors' care, try to understand and respond with compassion. Minimizing patient experiences can have grave consequences for the patient. I, in particular, need reassurance, not judgement. So not defend other doctors out of loyalty over patient care. Period.

Dr. Desai was wonderful. This was my first appointment with her and I was nervous. She explained everything I needed to know, answered all my questions and I feel very positive about the plan we are undertaking. Dr. Desai made this appointment very easy for me.

I was unable to see my PCP for this issue due to her being on maternity leave so I appreciate being able to see someone else easily without initial appointments and exams. It made my life much easier. She was also agreeable to having my husband in the exam room which provided me much comfort.
