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.

No compassion no empathy does not allow you to ask questions same with his staff. Talk down to you as if you should already know what’s going on Try to reschedule for another surgery with another doctor and couldn’t get it done. Someone supporting calll back to listen to my questions and let me know what is going on etc. not yet no calls. They just don’t care. Want your money but not willing to to treat you with respect or with empathy He or non of his staff know what that word means. They don’t care whether you understand or not. After ultrasound still no call. No follow up. I’m looking for another doctor I have never had a doctor with such lack of care or concern. And the staff act just like him.
