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's a good doctor unless you catch her in a bad mood. Then, hold on to your hat because it's going to be a bumpy ride. The wait time to see her is at least 1 hour, and can, at times, be up to 2 hours. Getting an appointment can take several weeks.
