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 donโt 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.
Kara is through, takes whatever time is required to ensure you understand the issues and potential ways forward, and gladly answers all questions.

I am very familiar with Kara, she's been my Primary for many years, during which time we have come to a good understanding of how I need to keep myself healthy despite some of my personal trying conditions and even as they change. I'm aging. She's watched me age. To me she embodied "Hello Humankindness" even before the VMFH ad campaign! She's now the primary provider for my spouse.
