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.

Amazing Dr.
When I was dx'd with stage 3B nsclc he didn't give up on me when others had. 20 years later I'm still here.

Pushy and does not listen to the patient
I was going to this doctor simply because I was trying to find a local place to do chemotherapy. My primary doctor had already worked out the treatment plan and spoke to this office. They agreed to follow it but then lied and tried to push me to do unnecessary tests before agreeing to do the chemotherapy. My primary doctor said that there was no reason to do these tests. Then this doctor’s office canceled saying my insurance didn’t cover. What is funny is that my insurance carrier said that they were indeed in network and tried to call to explain this five times. But there never would call back. The funniest part is that they had charged me in network prior. I called the CEO and he said that he was going to fix it for future patients and apologized for the horrible experience and mistake. I am now traveling for chemo, but doing well. Don’t regret it.

Best Oncologist Ever
Dr. Welt is an amazing oncologist who treated me almost 20 years ago when other doctors told me I was hopeless. He makes no promises but just does what he does best.
