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.

Bigoted and lacks compassion!
Told my sister if he had known her personal circumstances, he wouldn’t have taken her as a patient. He’s happy to take her money and insurance, however. He totally lacked any kind of compassion and wouldn’t even schedule an x-ray for her after a bad fall despite her having lesions on her bones and prone to broken ribs. My sister left this last visit in pain and depressed and her husband is furious at the way she was treated.
