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.

Worse Dr. Copen
He told me during my hospital stay that he did not want to be my doctor. Just Rude!

I love Dr. Copen. And have been with him for about 20 years. He has always taken time to answer my questions and look up information for me to take on my condition that is relevant to my condition and recovery. Yeah the wait is long because he’s also giving that kind of attention to other patients. Bottom line doctors are overloaded now. That’s why some are no longer even taking new patients.

Very rushed appointment and dismissive about my concerns. No "bedside manner" at all. Inconsiderate and condescending.

Dr Copen spends time, good listener and very knowledgeable. He cares a lot for his patients. I trust his judgement and always recommends him to family and friends.

Never on time. Sometimes you have to wait hours past your actual appointment time to see him. Staff is great but the doctor doesn't care about being considerate. Not recommended if you like to be respected as a patient.
