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 Gelfand is one of the most competent doctors and compassionate people I have ever met. It’s such a rare occurrence nowadays, that it’s imperative for people to know that there still are physicians out there who care and truly want to help their patients. I’m very impressed each time we interact with him by his immense knowledge, professionalism, responsiveness and no nonsense attitude.
