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 Gelles was incredibly judgmental, almost rude. Instead of asking questions, she made many assumptions. For example, when I stated I believe I may have an urinary track infection, she brushed it off then told me part of the solution is to drink less caffeine. We never talked about my caffeine intake, which is little to none. Turned out I did in fact have an infection. I brought up another very serious issue that was diagnosed by another doctor I trust. She simply dismissed the issues and my related concerns, even removing it completely from my chart. She spoke down to me, making me so terrible I cried after the appointment. Absolutely will never go back.

She listens and takes a patients' experience into consideration. She is friendly and compassionate. She has been a lifesaver to me. I would recommend her to anyone!

Very attentive, intelligent, and helpful. I like her approach of fewer medications the better. You have to be on top of things and bring an organized list as with most Dr. offices, but she will make the time to answer and address every question throughly.
