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.

We have been patients of Dr. Alan Boonin for all 44 years of his practice. As we've gotten older, Dr. Boonin has prescribed medication for us, keeping us healthy and happy for decades! Considering I am 78 years old, and feel 48, and my husband is 71 years old and feels 41, that's saying quite a bit. I cannot state enough good words about Dr. Boonin. He is an amazing doctor, and a very practical doctor. In short, we just love him!

A lot of the times you have an appointment with him and he cancels at the last minute,then they don't call you to reschedule.When you do get in for your appointment you are there for an eternity,first the wait in the waiting room is forever,then when in the room you wait for a long time again.I don't know about others,but i have better things to do than sit in a doctors office for two and a half hours

Completely satisfied. Dr. Boonin takes the time to listen to my concerns and analyzes them in conjunction with my medical history (which is extremely complex) and his diagnosis and treatment are almost always right on target. Dr. Boonin thinks “outside the box” and consequently is able to treat complicated conditions effectively. I have been his patient for 43 years and will remain so until he retires.
