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.

Appointment was at 2pm. When I called to confirm it was moved to 2:30. After waiting in an empty waiting room for 45 min I asked the receptionist how much longer and I was told at least another 30 minutes. Office was outdated and smelled awful. I ended up leaving. No one should have to wait that long with an empty waiting area. Receptionist was nice and helped me with an insurance issue.

Dr. Chambers is an excellent physician. He takes a careful and lengthy history at the initial visit and is through explaining his diagnosis and any planned procedures. One of my grandsons recently had his tonsils out. Dr. Chambers was kind and careful with the child. The surgery was perfect and all other aspects of the experience for the child were easy, neither rushed nor overly stressful. One of my grandaughters saw Dr Chmbers for a hearing condition. We highly recommend him.

This is the worst "doctor" and staff I have ever encountered. The overall cleanliness of the doctor and his office was suspect (I've seen free clinics that were more clean), he had no bedside manner, was unkempt and was obvious he did not wash his hands, would verbally berate his patients after he failed to explain procedures, would not stop after patient expressed discomfort and requested for him to stop, and fidgeted nonstop. The receptionist too was condescending. How is he still practicing?
