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.

Dr. Barboza is a wonderful and dedicated physician. I first saw her in 2015 for a suspicious lump on the right side of my neck. She took it very seriously and made sure I was given proper medical attention immediately. It turns out that it was stage 1 papillary thyroid cancer. As you can imagine, it was a scary time for me. But Dr. Barboza made me feel as though I was in good hands. She was extremely thorough in her medical expertise while showing great compassion at the same time. It is hard to find a doctor that you feel comfortable with both in a professional and personal level. Dr. Barboza has both of these qualities.

My experience with Dr. Barboza was awful. My first visit lasted approximately 15 minutes and she wanted to dramatically alter the medication (armour) and dosage that I have been on for 4 years based exclusively on my low TSH levels, despite the presence of persistent hypothyroid symptoms and in-range free T3/T4. She explicitly stated that she does not treat patients on the basis of symptoms and diagnosed me as hyperthyroid on the basis of my TSH alone. Needless to say I will not be returning
