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.

My terminally ill father was under Dr. Wittels care when he suffered an injury on his last trip to Florida. The doctors and staff there were very good upon communicating his condition to the doctor here in RI. Upon getting home, he saw the doctor, who had not bothered to look at the information he had received, blaming it on the nurses. This resulted in my father suffering unnecessarily through a month of blood poisoning, because the doctor couldn't bother to review his info.
