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.

Very unprofessional and rude. I ended up walking out of the ER still in pain because I did not feel safe under her care as well as the male nurses. The first thing she asked me when she walked in was “why didn’t I call my gyn dr” as if it wasn’t 2:30am. I thought an emergency room was for emergencies but apparently not in her case. I’m not sure if she was having a bad night or what but the attitude and treatment I received was completely unacceptable. She had no care or plan for me because she walked in with a bas attitude and seem to disregard my symptoms and why I was there.

Went into ER I told her my symptoms and she checked everything and was the only doctor to find my walking pneumonia. She questioned why my levels were fine but decided to do a chest x-ray. I was sent home with mess I needed and given fluids I was feeling better in 5 days
