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 would not recommend this doctor. He was a hour and half late for a one year olds surgery and then had more children to do after hers which was pushing everyone back. Also we went back for a Follow up after she had surgery and since it was 10 days out we had to pay a copay for him to look in her ears and say they were "fine" even tho we were going to her family doctor right after for a well check which she could of told me the same. I will tell everyone I know including doctors office not to go
