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.

Ten years ago Doctor Aretha Makia watched over my wife's pregnancy, delivery and post natal care. We celebrated the birth of a beautiful and healthy little girl, now ten years old. Though we moved out of the area, my wife and I have never forgotten the knowledgeable and compassionate care showered on us by this wonderful Doctor through a pregnancy complicated at times by other health concerns. In our recollections she is both a capable professional and an Angel.

Dr. Aretha Makia is a very caring OUTSTANDING OB/GYN surgeon. She made me feel very comfortable prior to having a myomectomy. Every time, I go to her office she treats me as if I was her family member. She encourages me to live a healthy life, naturally, physically, and spiritually. She is very thorough in explaining procedures and helping you understand what will occur before, during, and after your visit/surgery. She makes you very. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Makia.
