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.

Very helpful
Dr. Persaud was very helpful. She explained my diagnosis, things that I can do to help myself, as well as the path forward. She was a great listener and very knowledgeable.

This provider does not value your health
She seemed knowledgeable at first, but I didn’t feel listened to. I could tell my health wasn’t important to her. I waited 45 minutes past my appointment time. When I respectfully inquired about documentation for work her tone became disrespectful and rude as I asked for atypical documentation. Overall, I felt as though my questions and experience as the patient were a burden to her. I will not return!!

Awful!!
Awful! Dr Persaud was rude and dismissive of all of my health concerns. She rushed the appointment, tried to talk me out of scheduling any procedures, and was generally not a doctor I would recommend to anybody

Excellent physician
We had a nice discussion, she listened to my problems, provided valuable information and did not rush the exam. I have no idea why she got 2 x 1 star ratings.

Left with more questions than answers
Dr. Persaud was condescending, rude, and all around unhelpful. She gave zero helpful information while also giving an attitude when she was not happy with my description of my issues. I do not believe she is qualified to provide adequate care and her bedside manner is awful.
