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.

I was referred to a hospital in south jersey when my daughter was born who then referred me to Dr Katowitz at CHOP. This was a very difficult time and shocking thing to us. Dr. Katowitz was very informative and made sure he explained all the terms and possibilities. He was direct but very compassionate. He made sure she received all the testing and involved reviews and opinions from other doctors. He really made us feel that he was with us every ateo of the way. Always listened to our concerns.
