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.

Went to see him at an urgent care with a chest cold and obvious sinus infection. After a $40 co pay he refused to give me any medicince and only perscribed me ONE day's worth after my persistent request. Very dissapointed.

Saw him a busy Friday night during Mardi gras. Was post op after serious surgery and developed side effects. He coordinated treatment with my surgeon. Excellent compassion. Made me feel like i was his only patient. His treatment helped!

Not very educated, careless, and not attentive. Horrible bedside manner as well. Never met a doctor quite like him. Good job Springhill for hiring him (sarcasm).

He reported my wife & I to DHR after we took our 10 year old son to the ER at Springhill Medical with a broken arm. Never asked any questions or alerted authorities, even though we were at ER for 4 hours. There were no signs of abuse such as bruises or scratches, etc. It was a clean break of his humereus bone. He Lied & said I answered for my son, which I did not. My wife and I weren't even there when my son got hurt. He was with his grandparents. Still dealing with DHR. Avoid at all costs!
