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.

Untrustworthy
My opinion and experience is as follows doctor Mueller believes that he is above reproach and is not accountable to his patients nor the families of those patients. He allows his staff to lie and be untruthful and then tries to cover up for them when he gets offended that strong families won't allow his staff to push them around. He has his staff set so that if anyone doesn't agree with him and demands to talk to hospital administration he can hijack your child's procedure and hold that hostage while he tries to force you to back down. When you don't back down he'll cancel it. Dr Mueller and the other doctors in this group say that it is a hospital policy that parents and family are not allowed in the room with children well they're having procedures done because people often bring things into the MRI room that cause injury to the machine I don't believe this from moment.

Dr. Mueller was in charge while our daughter died in front of us from circumstances beyond his control. He was extremely unprofessional and acted nonchalant during the whole time. When our daughter finally died, he offered no condolences and instead behaved as though nothing happened.
