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.

I went in for a sore throat and fatigue plus runny nose. She tested me for strep, declared I was "doing great," and sent me on my way with no help. I asked her if I was contagious as I was planning to go to my niece's Special Olympics where there would be lots of immune-compromised people. She said I was not contagious and could go but "just don't share food." Fast forward to the next day, I woke up the next morning miserable. Fever of 102. Still very sore throat. Decided to take a Covid test, and was bright-red line, Covid positive. This doctor did not even do a Covid test despite my Covid-like symptoms. What's worse is that I could have put immune-compromised people at risk if I'd followed her guidance. So despite fact that she seems like a very nice human, I would not recommend her. That is not competent care in my opinion.

Definitely not. I had a telehealth appointment for conjunctivitis and she prescribed an eye ointment instead of drops. I didn't realize this until I picked up my prescription at 7 pm. I was supposed to use it 4x daily. This stuff was like Vaseline. No way can an adult use it that way and function normally (when you put this on your eye, you can't even see), so I just used it at night. After 5 days of nightly use, I developed a stye in both eyes. Now I am going in for my 3rd appointment with an Ophthalmologist to have both styes/chalazions drained. I should have had drops, not ointment, and this whole mess would have been avoided.
