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.

His bedside manner was awful. First thing he said to me was "you have numbness in two fingers and pain in your elbow, right?" and I responded with "yes, pain in my elbow and numbness that goes down my forearm into these two fingers." He snapped back "that's exactly what I said." Well alright then. This is going to go well. Throughout he made comments like "do you have children?" and I told him I had a dog and two cats. He then goes "so you've never actually been in labor then." He also told me my body's reaction to the electric shocks was an overreaction. Well I'm sorry. I will be sure to let my body know that. Thank goodness I never have to see him again.

Awful bedside manner. Asked if I had certain symptoms, I confirmed I had them and others to which he replied that he did not ask about the others. Gave me a diagnosis before even testing me or assessing the area in question and had already been ruled out by other specialists and tests. Had an afternoon appointment and he complained patients later in the day should cancel so he could go home earlier even after I had to reschedule 2x due to him not being able to make it in. Don't recommend.
