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.

If i could give Zero Stars I Would. One, if not the most unprofessional doctor i've ever had the displeasure of being treated by. I went to the emergency room for Knee pain and swelling, my knee was the size of a baseball. Doctor was in the room for all of Three minutes, and sent me home with painkillers. No imaging of any kind was ordered. Come to find out I have a rare knee cancer, which could've been caught at the time of visit, But due to the negligence of this doctor was caught almost a month later. HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU STAY AWAY
