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.

Misleading reviews best doctor for young patients
Dr. David is a sharp and educated no bs doctor who works efficiently and effectively. He wastes no time and asks meaningful questions to find root causes of anything affecting your health and lifestyle. He covers every angle and detail you bring to him and please disregard the other boomer reviews who obviously expect 2-3 hour long doctor appointments to vent and rant about basic issues that could be resolved in minutes. Go to a psychiatrist or therapist if you expect long lasting conversations. But if you value your time I highly recommend seeing him.

This was my 2nd appt with this doc, and it was a virtual appt. In preparation for it I setup the app and completed the pre-appt requirements the day before. On the day of the appt I launched the appt link 15 mins prior to the start time as instructed without any luck. I called his office for further assistance, no one answered the call. Eventually, I was allowed into the call without taking further action after 22 mins (15 mins prior to the appt time + 7 mins wait time), no additional login or questions were asked before placing me in the call. Which means the issue was either the way the call was launched or the app and not on my end. His first comment to me... you joined this call 7 mins late, I need to leave the office. Tell me quickly what's going on with you. He asked 3-4 questions, rushing me through each one. I will look for another PCP who has time to listen to my health concerns and treat it with better bedside manners!

Wish I could give zero stars! Terrible service; told me he was getting me a prescription I really needed, when it was not at my pharmacy I called and left numerous messages at the office throughout the day. He never returned my call or fixed his mistake. It was a Friday so I was without the medication until I could go back and see another doctor that Monday. I had to take extra time off work because of his mistake.
