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.

As a patient with a chronic pain condition, one would expect a Dr. that specializes in pain would be willing to at least act like they are listening and act like they care. Dr. Forsythe does neither and shows little concern for the suffering of the patient. That's how she treated me. She was short, snippy, rude, condescending and demeaning. I was discouraged and suffered a lot longer than necessary because of Dr. Akara Forsythe but now I am actually in good hands with a pain specialist that has made all the difference in the world for me.
