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.

Horrible doctor. Did not put orders in my chart, repeatedly asked me questions that made no sense, and her demeaning tone left me feeling worse than before I went in. She needs to go work where she doesn't interact with patients.

Dr. Model always listens to what I feel is changing with my condition. The nurses are absolutely amazing. They really get to know the patients and care so much. While experiencing some unrelated health concerns the office reached out to me on regular basis just to see how I was doing. It took a little time for me to warm up to Dr. Model, but I have been a patient for over 3 years now and I wouldn't even consider another doctor.

She acted like she could care less about why I was there. I fell on the ice in front of the building. Her response was "oh well" She did send me for an X-ray then charged me for it! I should have sued. The final straw was when the pharmacist pointed out the two medications were not compatible. I fired her! I later found out the reason I was having more problems after I started seeing her was I was having an allergic reaction to the medicine. She told me this was in my head.

She acts as though she is not interested in your symptoms or doesn't believe you about your pain. I had seen her several times & the last time I had went she was out of town. The nurse could not give me any injections in my hands to relieve the pain I was having since the doctor was not there.They could have told me that on the phone and saved me a visit since they were not going to treat me. I was told I would be on a call back list but wasn't. Since then I gladly changed doctors.
