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.

Dr. Kurkul was very professional and explained my issues and future plan for follow-ups. He is awesome doctor.

Explains well
Dr. Kurkul gave me very clear ideas of what to expect. Although the results were not what I wanted, he gave me a game plan and hope. I was happy that he also gave me resources for the inevitable 2AM questions that I would have.

A 'REAL' doctor!
Dr. Kurkul actually deserves the title, 'Dr.' Dr. Kurkul not only asks questions, he LISTENS to your answers, which is pretty rare from a doctor these days. He is knowledgeable and takes his time to make sure you understand what he tells you, and he is a master at explaining. I feel safe and trust him completely, and this review is coming from a woman who actually researches a doctor BEFORE she sees him or her! Cancer is a serious business, and one that I do not wish to be in for long. With Dr. Kurkul, I know that my expectation is realistic!
