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.

Terrible doctor! He makes jokes about patients as soon as he leaves a room. Doesn’t respect patient or thier privacy. We HEARD HIM LAUGHING and making fun of a fat patient in another room. When he saw us he turned around and walked down the hall real fast. I won’t use the awful names he was calling her and her husband. It could be considered abusive language. He also doesn’t respond when he is on call. We waited for over 2 hours for a call back so my wife could go to the ER. Beware of this MEAN and uncaring joke maker!!!!!
