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.

Nightmare Doctor
I visited Dr Rizk after a recommendation from a colleague. The staff was helpful and kind but this lady is a piece of work, the first thing she tells me is that she’s in a bit of a rush because she has 24 patients today. Then she went on to be dismissive of every single thing I told her. She very clearly lacks empathy. I will not be going back to see Dr. Rizk, as I’d like to find a doctor with empathy.

Wouldn't recommend
Dr. Rizk was unhelpful, rushed through the appointment, and was very condescending.
