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.

Very Dangerous “Dr”
This guy tried to have me ki!!ed under my family’s nose. They were trying to frame it as an accident and I’ll never understand why. He had death in his eyes as soon as he walked in my room. Don’t know if it was my political beanie or something deeper but either way, this man is a cold blooded ki!!er. He should lose his license to practice and every patient who has passed under his care should be looked into closely. I was definitely not his first victim and his colleagues at Henry Mayo were all on board with the program. It’d sure be great to know why he wanted to end my life so badly but I don’t think I’ll ever know.

Unprofessional and uncaring

Treated my son at Henry Mayo. Prescribed wrong amounts of meds and never responded to staff requests to change and correct meds. Refused to speak with family member to take a full history of illness and meds. My son got worse due to wrong medication dosage and timing of medication. He would not call my son’s former doc who wanted to discuss this case.
