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.

Horrible bedside manner
Do not recommend at all. I generally get along with most people and have no issues or complaints about any doctors I've seen. Dr. Liss is the exception to this. He comes across as supercilious. He is rude, dismissive and not respectful during the visit. He also made me feel really uncomfortable during the whole visit. He didn't document what we discussed leading to his, also unfortunately rude, staff member claiming it didn't happen since he is 'great' at charting, as if he is infallible. Omitting something from your EMR doesn't mean it didn't happen. I remember the conversation verbatim, in part because he made a medically unnecessary comment about my age. He made a snide comment in response to something in my personal life that he should have kept to himself. Finally, after doing a skin check, I had to point out an area of concern to him that he missed, that he subsequently biopsied. If he did a full body check, how did he miss that?

One year treatment no culture
I saw this MD first visit applied a bandaid told me not to itch. I am a nurse. Pain itch ugliness did biopsy. Great no cancer but tested 1 week of antibiotic. Continued to worsen seem for a year. Said I was doing this to myself. No culture ever grown. Saw new derm P A. 1st thing did a culture grew out fungal pathogen. It is resistant to first line antifungal returned to county MDs. Sliding hope from my neck to my face. I am about suicidal. No hope for this MD ought to not practice.

Didn’t take my concerns serious
* Rushed 5 minute visit * Made me feel uncomfortable by sliding his stool with his legs wide open very close to my knees. * Superior attitude when not all details given. * Dismissed my concerns stating my condition is nothing to worry about.
