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've been a patient of Dr. Stark over 5yrs. He's truly an amazing man and he takes the time to care and explain things thoroughly. I'm in my 50s and I was born with a birth defect in my arms. He truly understands me and my situation. Very thankful for having him.

Checks all the proverbial boxes.
Efficiency from entry to exit. Amazing staff at every stage, and an attentive doctor who was not only an expert in his field, but excellent listening skills, which can be rare. Hands down, every box you may have (for the right care) will be checked here.
