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.

Excellent practioner. Knowledgeable, caring and professional. He is a healer caring for the whole person.

Dr. Apelian is excellent! He really cares about his patients. He is that ONE doctor that will call you back and wants to help. He treated my dad and is currently treating my mom and he's just fantastic. I cannot say enough about him! I literally bring a lap top in the room with me and he patiently answers all my inquiries and provides recommendations.
