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.

If you are looking to be taken back for your appointment 30 minutes late or to be forgotten, he is the doctor to see. Make sure your medical records are sent well in advance so he can see them or your visit is absolutely pointless because he barely takes time to understand your concerns before he goes to the next person in line. He’s not allowed to look at your medical records while you are their because he could make “faces” about it. Since when is any of that okay. Had 2 appointments and got nowhere. The front staff was awful as well and gossiping the whole time while waiting in the waiting room. Overall terrible experience and he showed such lack of care and empathy towards me and my concerns. Seems like a doctor who just wants to be paid since I was told he only has 20 minutes with each patient and I received only 5 of them before I was pushed out asking about my concerns.

The only issue was the pharmacy next door gave him a song & dance re helping the working poor with Rx costs. He would not transfer my Rx to Walmart. I paid $20 instead of $13 @ WalMart or $3 at Sam's Club. He's a very good doctor but stand your ground on prescriptions.
