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.

Dr. Clark permanently mutilated my breasts and scarred my body for life. Parts of my nipples are sewn underneath my nipples and inter mixed with the scarring. I am unable to breast feed. I am aware that I am not her only patient who has been similarly scarred. As a young woman and non-smoker there were complications with the surgery and I had a breast clot that had to operated on again only a few hours after the surgery, where Dr. Clark appeared to be inebriated. She was condescending and callous in her bedside manner. A couple of years later I had complications again when an abscess formed and a piece of two inch blue wire surfaced in my breast and had to be removed by another surgeon. For decades I have had abnormal mammograms and this year where the abscess used to be a calcium deposit built up and created a lump in my breast that feels exactly like cancer, it cannot be removed, and it is painful. In my opinion, Dr. Clark should have lost her license to practice several years ago.
