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.

Incompetent Medical Doctor
Proceed with extreme caution if this is the doctor assigned to you in the ER. If I had a do over I’d of taken a NP or PA any day over the lack of follow through, communication, and incompetence during a very serious life threatening ER visit

Have never met a doctor quite like this women. Learn from me if she is assigned to your care in the ER you’ll be in better hands with a NP or PA. Absolutely pitiful lack of communication, continuation of care, no patient education and no follow through.
