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.

Dr. Arslanian has been engaged in supporting my son’s health for about 14 years. My son has a very rare and potentially horrific condition. Dr. Arslanian researched the rare disorder and has been great in helping us keep him doing well. She has a great bedside manner with him. He is very comfortable around her. She is also patient in answering all of our, the parents, questions.

I'm not sure who is worse at Children's Hospital of Pgh, her or Dr. Dorthy Becker. Both have the most terrible bedside manner I have ever seen in my life. Newflash to both doctors, you are there to help and at the end of the day you are getting paid by the patient. Maybe not being so rude and and snotty might be a better way to treat those who are paying YOU!
