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.

Very poor bedside manner.
Doctor came to treat my grandma. He complained that we should build a ramp to help my grandma down the stairs (even though we don’t have the money or resources to build one). He then bragged about how he was able to build a ramp for his own mother (because he has a doctor’s salary!). To add insult to injury, he also said that by the time a ramp is built, the patient tends to die anyway. He said that right in front of my grandma…. I expect a better attitude and bedside manner from a supposed professional doctor like this. Avoid at all costs.

Does not listen to his patients.
He was my doctor for many years, until he stopped listening to me.Did not believe me about my pain, even grabbed my neck during examination hard.I had to ask him to lighten up. Scans told a different story (3) surgeries later, still had attitude, I stopped going, he fired me as a patient without even asking me what was up.His compassion floored me!
