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.

Only Dr. who understood my nose problem!
Went all over for nose congestion and swelling for years. All the Drs wanted me to have a 3rd septoplasty (none had worked). Dr. Engel was the only Dr. that knew my swollen turbinates were causing the problem and not the septum.This guy is the Best!
What went well
  • I felt respected
  • Listened & answered questions
  • Explained conditions well
  • Trusted the provider's decisions
