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.

I get the 1st appointment of the day. She is always late as she strolls in with her coffee. I have been assigned her at the VA. She has never truly examined me, she sits at her chair and types on the computer...without barely making eye contact. The last two appointments I had with her, she canceled. She insisted I have RLS, because my feet and legs are swollen! I do not have RLS. She was insulted and condescending when I told her I have no symptoms of RLS. She then prescribed me meds for RLS!! It's been several years and finally went to an outside Dr. My heart is the reason for the swelling! I need surgery.
