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.

High skill level of care
All I can say is that this Doctor gave the most high end care to my Father in his last week of life with the most kind and considerate effort I have ever seen. My Father passed peacefully which gave me a sense of peace as the years have passed by. He discussed medicine and timing of the medicine. The nurses were well informed about how to deal with myself with my grief level. I will always remember and know that this Doctor made a difference in my Fathers end of life and I will always have the highest respect for him and other medical staff that puts that type effort and kindness into their work. Thank you for the great care we both received during that difficult time.

This is an unlicensed physician who conned my insurance company. He is a dangerous man who runs the adult industry.
