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.

A wonderful Doctor and man
Dr. So is one of the kindest, professional doctors I have ever dealt with. His deep concern for his patients is evident. He truly listens, and certainly, is reassuring and does what is best for his patients.

Absolutely horrendous experience scheduling. The young women on the phone were incredibly rude and unprofessional. I was gaslit and hung up on. I called back & the girl was snippy with me once again, placed me on hold...and left me on hold. These women need training on medical professionalism.

Dr. So has been my endocrinologist for the past 18 years and is the main point of treatment for my Type 1 Diabetes. He has incredible bedside manner and always demonstrates a deep level of care to his patients. He is quick to order testing of any anomalies in order to be sure my overall well-being is taken care of. I highly recommend Dr. So - 5/5 stars!
