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.

Do not recommend!
Dr. Uy has provided me with the most negative healthcare experience I have ever had. She was rude and condescending when I brought my 6 month old for a check up and shots. She refused to provide them because of a “fever.” My daughter was not warm at all. I had taken her temperature once we got home and it was in completely normal ranges. Please do not see this doctor unless you would like her to nit pick anything she believes is wrong. She did not even offer advice just condescending comments about the way my child presented. The rest of the staff I had come in contact with were very friendly. I hope this was just an off day for the Doctor and no one else has to experience this. Definitely will not be returning.

She is extremely attentive and I never feel rushed. My infant is having a difficult time putting on weight and she did not hesitate to refer me to the appropriate specialist. She follows up with at home phone calls to check on my baby's progress after advice was given or test results . I highly recommend her for your little one.
