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.

Type 1 diabetics avoid
Overall poor service, both doctor and office personal. If you are a type one diabetic avoid at all cost. Doctor incorrectly wrote the script, office didn’t assist with expediting. Took a month to receive a revised script for my fast acting insulin. Had to go to the ER for an emergency script. Doctor or office didn’t follow up, terrible service.

Dr. Gu is amazing. The problem is her staff. You have to jump through hoops to get anything done. My medication needed prior authorization. They said they would take care of it. A week later, nothing was done. It doesn’t matter how great the doctor is if their support staff is incompetent or just plain lazy.

Dr. Gu is very thorough, personable and handled my situation with great care. She calls me personally on any updates and even visited me after my thyroid surgery when I was in recovery (which she did not have to do as she wasn't directly involved in the surgery).
