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.

Not a good experience
His first reaction is to perform surgery. I have burn scars on my chest, which I asked him to avoid when placing a pacemaker. He did not listen to me when I tried to discuss heart deformities in my family. He was not prepared for the deformity he encountered.Unable to place on the the burned side, sill have pain from Feb. So he cut the oposite side and had problems placing into the node. I have an anaphalaxtic disease and seizure disorder, so was kept overnight. I had myoclonic seizures during the night, terrified because he warned me to be careful because of the node placementNo help. He used an adhesive to close my incisions, which have triggered my mastocytosis, hence the ongoing pain. Getting a follow up is impossible. No way to fix the painful incisions on third degree burn tissue that I said to avoid. No follow up with dr. No idea how live in arrithmias, now heart failure, and ingoing pain. Everyone's answer is to go to ER, wgich I want to avoid. I don't want to see him again
