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.

Well intentioned-but new Dr; problematic listening
Holmes seemed professional, but new Dr. &although she seemed book knowledgeable for the most part...She came into appt not reading pertinent info I just listed with nurse, who actually seemed more seasoned & present than Dr did. Holmes then didn't fully listen to me when having me go through all the info again because she got distracted looking at my eye pics. I had to correct her a few & RE-tell her info. It took a funny turn when she then tried to tell me that episcleritis isn't a term & not related to my co-morbid situation, which it is & it was, as noted by other (Rheum) Drs. So, she angled my situation not connecting the two health aspects. She then regurgitated med book info of what she minimized my eyes situation to, as if being quizzed in a classroom, speaking in a tonality similar to K Kardashian (I felt like I was talking to a teenager a little bit.) It is what it is. I find younger Drs are so tunnel vision that they can't connect dots & big picture thinking & patronize
