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.

No Rapport
I can’t believe this Doctor made me wait 2 hours (in the middle of a workday) for the worst visit I’ve ever had with any physician in my entire life. Entirely out of touch with the patients and becomes offended very quickly for any interruption if you add any more Details during your visit

My beef is not so much with him, but his assistant GALE. I would call, and call, and call -- no one would answer. So you'd get Gale's voicemail if you had questions about your medication or needed a refill. She NEVER calls back. She never calls in your refills. I switched doctors after dealing with this same issue for 2 years.

Very incentive to my condition. This man put his professional freinds in front of my healthcare. Extremely poor quality individual who disgraces the entire medical profession. Avoid this guy, or if you do see him ask him about this review and ask him why he would put his "friends" welfare in front of an individual who came to him attempting to report medical battery and assault.

Thank you for pointing out that I'm fat, severe obsessed and lazy. I was looking forward to having a male doctor but how do you know that I don't have depression issues. The things that were said could have been worded different. Remember if it weren't for people like me you would not have a job. Telling me to find family members to carry my casket not knowing if I was really I'll because I came to the office having blood pressure issues. I've never met a doctor that talked to me like this.
