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.

Have been his patient for 32 years. He has been responsible for my 31 years of care of my kidney transplant as well as my overall health. He is always available to me on short notice when I have questions or issues. He is not only my doctor but my friend. Best doctor one could have.

I was a patient of his for nearly a year for Dialysis in Bryn Mawr. As well as his associates. There is no choice with outpatient dialysis for nephrologists because it is a private sector. In that time frame this man IGNORED calls from me, pages from the hospital, and calls from the dialysis clinic, when all those calls were for life sustaining medications he prescribed and I required refills for. I got very sick and had to be hospitalized for several days due to this intentional act.
