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
My husband’s knee replacement was incorrectly done, the doctor and his PA covered it up. The replacement is off by about 15 degrees. They never showed us X-rays during recovery. Only when we went to a “real” orthopedic surgeon, did we find out how messed up the surgery was. And, it could be life threatening to try and fix it. DO NOT let him operate on you!!

He refused to wear a mask, would not review x-ray untill we removed our masks, staff x-rayed wrong shoulder as they did x-ray before seeing doctor and scheduler imput wrong info.- when I told radiologist she insisted on proceeding and was very rude and was even worse when the nurse sent me back for correct x-rays. We refused to remove our masks and left and he yelled at us down the hall we need to get educated on covid and he's already had it and can't pass it on and our masks are doing more harm than good. He scared my wife when he turned to punch the wall, he screamed you should have called and asked about the maskes first, I responded loudly the mask requirement is on Margaret Mary's website and we rushed out-and he still had the gull to bill us for wrong x-rays. Our sympathies to the nursing staff who by the way all wore masks.
