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.

He is not knowledgeable on women’s health or hormones. He is quite dismissive. Called me an entitled little brat when I expressed my frustration on all his medical advice that did not work. He told me to stop eating carbs so I can lose weight even though I was exercising and eating clean. refused to diagnose my PCOS even though test results came back positive. He’s made my life impossible and lose faith in ethical medicine.
