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.

As with many reviews I've seen, I've been with Dr pfaff since the 90s. The minute he brought in his wife Marie to work for him it all went downhill. She's very nasty, rude, and oversteps her boundaries. She's a receptionist, not the doctor. He also gets rude with a bit of a god complex. They keep reducing their office hours. I know several people who were longtime patients who left due to the Attitude. Too bad. He's a good doctor, but not worth the condescending attitude.

My family and I have been going to Dr. Pfaff for many years. I wasn’t feeling well & called twice and left a message. I then called when they were open and spoke to the receptionist Marie. I told her who I was and she responded (in a nasty tone) “You know you don’t have to call three times.” She then said,“Well we can’t fit you in anyway.” Her demeanor and bedside manner was unlike anything I’ve experienced. I told her that and she hung up on me. Very rude, especially when you don’t feel well.
