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.

Dr Birnbaum is brilliant, honest and compassionate- qualities that one doesn't often find together in oncologists. He is, also, empowering. He discusses the illness, and offers options to the patient, in terms of treatment, making sure we're both on the same page. His question Are the side effect worth it? pretty much sums up his approach, He deals with not only prolonging life, but prolonging quality of life. I travel from North Carolina to see him. I guess that says it all.
