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.

Considerate doctor
I saw this doctor because I was having some intermittent abdominal pain that was alarming me. He was not my regular GP, but a doctor working in urgent care at the time. It was the middle of the pandemic, and their urgent care was very taxed and there was another patient seemingly having an emergency at the time. Despite everything that was going on, this doctor was really considerate, caring and professional and didn't treat me like I was wasting his time even though my issue turned out to be non-urgent. I was pretty impressed with how he managed to juggle everything and do it well, and it was kind of a relief to know this type of doctor was on the staff.

Dr. Sax simply does not do good job as a doctor. He ignores me, doesn't seem to care about my chronic ailments. I went in for my yearly physical, and he didn't complete the physical. I happened to have a cold/sinus infection, I mentioned it, he did not even look in my throat or seem to care. Stay away, Dr Sax is either lazy or incompetent, you take your pic.
