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.

Excellent and thorough
Dr Valdis Lelkes is a caring doctor whom I trust. He examines you thoroughly and carefully. He is highly recommended because I was his patient in the hospital as well and followed up with him afterwards. He goes over the diagnostic tools like x-rays and petscans with you explaining everything patiently. When other doctors recommended preemptive surgery he took the "let's monitor this closely" approach. I am thankful for that because my bones started improving. Hopefully I will never need surgery. I feel I am in safe hands with him. He is fast and efficient, yet kind.
