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.

Great doctor
I have 3 small boys. Whenever I can’t get an appointment with their primary doctor, I schedule appointments with him. He is always very friendly, explains things well, and gives me adequate information when I have a concern. He is a great doctor in my opinion.

It's impossible to get an appointment when there is a need for urgent care. He's rude, arrogant, dismissive, doesn't listen, and rushes through appointments He is not at all familiar with my daughter or her history even though we have been seeing him for over two years. Final straw was when I tried to schedule a yearly well visit appointment and was told he wasn't available until Sept. It's June now, and my child's birthday is in July. Time for a a new primary, who may actually BE a primary.
What went well
  • Wait times
What could be improved
  • Difficult to schedule appointment
  • Didn't listen or answer questions
  • Didn't explain conditions well
  • Appointment was rushed
  • Didn't trust the provider's decisions
