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.

Bad Apple
Do not see her at any point. If anyone ever reads this, I have never done a review in my life. I am older & survived many illnesses including Cancer. I am not a soft person, but I’m a okay it is this, let’s get a plan together and get it done type of person. 1st visit with her & within 6 minutes I knew enough to get out of there as fast as possible. What she wanted to do to me in that chair, without reading any of my Medical History, Medical Information Prescriptions, would have put me in danger immediately. 2 years later I need to see a surgeon after seeing 2 Specialists & PCP. Gallbladder needs to be removed ASAP, before I knew it, she walked into the office. Before I could leave, she informed me the PCP and Specialists and all the advanced Testing, Scans were wrong. Just change your diet. I’m living on crackers & water for 6 months, lost over 40lbsThis is still ongoing.Protect yourself and your loved ones from this Doctor .This is my experience
