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.

He blinded me
I am and blind in one eye because of a rash treatment choice made by Dr. Bakall. He never spoke with or contacted me after my eye was severely infected by him even though I was seen at his location for the next several weeks. His diagnosis was contradicted by other doctors both before and after his injurious treatment . His version of the diagnosis and treatment in my medical record does not reflect the reality that I went through. I had to be treated at Banner ER because the on-call doctor for Dr. Bakall's firm refused to see me when the infection was critical. Please avoid this practice.
