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.

The worst doctor I've ever seen. Long wait time, poor diagnoses (I saw another doctor and she was well off), and it did not seem like she cared at all about my condition. She rushed the visit as well. I do not recommend her at all.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Light?
I had severe back pain since 2007 and have seem so many doctors and done all kinds of exames (MRI on spine 3 times)/treatments. No one can help me finding the cause but evantually only providing me with pain killers. I was forced to retire in 2010. I have lost more than 20 lbs and almost dying but no doctor can help until I met Dr. Light (referred by Dr. Lindstrom) in July 2014. She was so caring, with full examination and following an abdominal-ultrasound, a 14 x 12 x 11 cm tumor was found.
