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.

This doctor cultivates a hostile atmosphere and his staff is extremely unprofessional. Verbally accosting an 80 year old woman is never acceptable! And your office is filthy! Shame on you!

Not TRUST WORTHY! Will not listen to you if you have billing concerns. Paid $360 on account but his records only showed $187. Had his paid receipts but he was not interested in hearing about them. Charges insurance for Critical Care Management but does not provide patient with any care plan. Only take the money.

I would not recommend this doctor if you have several health issues. With me he was a bully, insulting. On May 4, 2015, after being his patient for 4 yrs. He screamed at me and could be heard in the waiting area. Telling me if he gets frustrated with me NO ONE will help me, do I understand that...NO ONE!!!! I was crying and it set him off as i was frustrated. I have been disabled since 1996. Not to mention the receptionist is rude. Not all staff was bad just Dawn. I can't give a zero .....
