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 in to figure out if surgery could be done on my wife's shoulder. She's had a huge lump on her neck for four years that flares up causing pain and makes it difficult to sleep at night. He for some ungodly reason said she didn't need surgery, that it was just an extra bit of fat, and that she shouldn't do surgery because 'your skin is so pretty you don't want a scar.' Office is also unorganized and forgetful of what paperwork patients need.

I was sent to this doctor by my Urologist. I saw him and told me , I need to remove my gall-stone. My primarycare physician , cardiologist, both told me it is non-obstracting, no pain , so not to go for surgery. Dr Vijian told complication might arise later on. I decided not to go for surgery. i got 4 reminder to pay for office visit which was paid before doctor saw me. Today, I asked what the bill about. The office caller was not sure. She called back and apologized for the mistake.never again.

He didn't even come to the hospital the last week I was in to remove the staples. Major surgery was done. 43 days in the hospital. 1 year later I now have to have another because I have a huge abdominal hernia from the surgery. Never seeing him again. EVER!!!
