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.

Worst Dr I’ve ever met
I recently had the displeasure of encountering Dr. Guest, and I must say, it was a truly disheartening experience. Dr. Guests treatment of me was nothing short of appalling. She was unkind, rude, and lacked any sense of compassion. Her dismissive and condescending attitude left me feeling belittled and devalued as a patient. Not only did she treat me with disrespect, but she also displayed a complete lack of professionalism in her interactions with both myself and her staff. It was clear that they were constantly walking on eggshells around her. Dr. Guests behavior towards them was nothing short of abhorrent - she spoke to them in a demeaning manner, belittled their efforts, or straight up ignored them. It was abundantly clear that she believed herself to be superior to every other human being in the room solely because she held the title of Dr. I would strongly advise against seeking medical care from someone who displays such a blatant disregard for basic human decency.

No compassion
If you have a chronic health condition do not expect to be treated kindly by Dr. Guest. First words out of her mouth were “Why are you here again?” As I mentioned above, I have several chronic illnesses that cause numerous different symptoms. She immediately asks why I am back at the hospital again? Probably because I feel horrible from my illnesses and the aftercare notes that are given say “come back for new or worsening symptoms.” She spent maybe 2 whole minutes listening to me before saying “I’ll order a couple tests and get you out of here” before she walked out. Don’t expect to be treated kindly by her if you have the misfortune of having her as your doctor.

Dr. Guest was extremely unprofessional in the ER with us. We came into the ER because of it being Saturday and the urgent care, we’d gone to in the morning, said I needed a CT scan because of a high CRP level in my blood work. When Dr. Guest came in, she had not looked at any of my test results, she asked what brought us in. We proceeded to tell her why, she rolled her eyes, snorted, and said I probably didn’t need any scans. She had a couple of things to go look at and she’d be back to check how I was feeling. She apparently did look at my blood work and requested two scans to be done because of my blood work. She did not come back to apologize or follow up; then Drs changed and we didn’t see her again. We felt she was extremely unprofessional.

Dr. Guest is by far the worst doctor we've ever encountered. She was rude, unkind, and unsympathetic. I feel sorry for not just her patients, but people that have to work with her. If she's incapable of caring for people, she should rethink her career. She couldn't even address basic concerns, terrible experience overall.
