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.

She is really terrible. Wouldn't let me report symptoms. Wouldn't answer questions. I asked her whether I should worry that a sore was draining foul smelling pus, her diagnosis was: it "looks" like an ingrown hair, but "it's not cancer." The only rationale she gave me for her brusque approach, because I let her know I had more questions, was a shrug of the shoulders and the words: "It's public health." After I made it clear I was going to complain about her and request a new doctor from the clinic, it looks like she lied and represented that I only requested a transfer to a different clinic location and made no complaint, apparently hoping to get rid of me and any negative scrutiny my complaint might bring. A real snake more concerned about her paycheck than her patients' health and comfort, in my opinion. Some of the most vulnerable people in the county go to her seeking help. I think it's time complaints were made to the medical licensing board.

Her communication skills are lacking. She doesn't listen to her patients. If she's the only hope I have, I'll die. It's time for her to retire.
