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.

Extraordinary
Telehealth
From the very first appointment, she took the time to truly listen to my concerns and thoroughly evaluate my medical history. Unlike many specialists I’ve seen, she was incredibly patient, compassionate, and detail-oriented, ensuring that I fully understood my condition and genetic risks. She went above and beyond in explaining complex genetic concepts in a way that was easy to understand, and worked with me to develop a care plan. Her knowledge and expertise are outstanding, and they genuinely care about their patients' well-being. Thanks to her guidance, I finally have answers that other doctors overlooked for years.
