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.

She was absolutely the worst doctor I’ve ever seen (and I’ve had bad doctors). She tried to diagnose me with diabetes before doing the blood test (the blood test came back very clear that I was nowhere near diabetic or pre-diabetic). She bodyshamed me and made me leave the office in tears. Definitely not who you want taking care of you when you are hormonal and pregnant. Worst bedside manner. Didn’t even take a full medical history and it was my first time seeing her!

Dr. Gafori is fantastic. She is kind, caring, and I trust her 100%. She always remembers my medical history and asks about my daughter. I had her as my doctor when I was pregnant and still see her now. I had to have surgery last year and she explained in detail what was going to happen, and answered all of my questions. I have and will continue to see her and recommend her to others.

My daughter is in college and is still under our health insurance. Dr Gafori had no regard to whether her patient is able to pay for any of her prescription or tests. She prescribed a hormone cream that costs $350+ which insurance doesn’t cover. She ordered tests that insurance doesn’t cover. Every scrape of sample she collected cost close to $100 insurance doesn’t cover. Just received the final bill from them: $633. All tests results are negative. Her condition not improved. Pay $1,000.

Never studies the patient information before seeing the patient. Couple of times she had wrong patient information and also wrong tests or older information. Never gives relevant information and only recommendation she has is "I don't know, let's wait and see". Worst doctor I have come across in my life, please stay away from her, she never has any answers or never bothers to look at her patient's health information.
