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.

Office has limited seating, have to stand and wait sometimes over an hour. Many patients leave. Was seen by Doctor only once of 3 visits. Was seen by his assistant who misdiagnosed my condition initially and was corrected by Doctor but nonetheless never saw Doctor after that only assistant. No confidence in this way of practicing medicine.
