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.

I will never let this doctor touch my babies ever again! She made my baby so sick, didn't care about the patient at all. Refused to listen to parents concern and understanding and judged without answering questions. Very stuck up, rude and stuck in her ways, worst doctor ever!! She insults her patients and their parents, she is a very careless/reckless doctor with no compassion for her patients.
