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 Craig Derkay told us in 2005 that our son required numerous unneccesary surgeries with long term side effects and sadly never recommended removing dairy from his diet, even though I told him I thought dairy could be the culprit for our son's constant runny nose and ear infections. As it turns out, I was right. In 2015 we found out our son has a severe dairy allergy. All of those scary surgeries could have been avoided if Dr. Craig Derkay would have warned us that a dairy allergy does cause chronic runny nose ear infections in children. My recommendation is to remove dairy from your diet (if breastfeeding) and/or from your infant or child's diet for 8 weeks before agreeing to ear tubes or removal of adnoids and tonsils. Surgery is a luctrative business, removing dairy is free.

Dr. Derkay is the nicest and friendliest ENT I have ever encounter. My son had adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy, Dr. Derkay made me feel at eased. The operation was a success.
