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.

Excellent service, minimal wait time and caring.
What stood out in my visit was the excellent customer service. The support staff were very kind and showed a lot of empathy. They even had beverages to offer. Dr. Afflu is very compassionate, thorough, and attentive to details. He has a great sense of humor, which keeps one at ease to discuss with him. He is very patient. He is my family doctor. In fact, my mom wouldn't see any other cardiologist if not Dr. Afflu. I will always recommend him to friends and other persons with cardiac issues. He is a very well-experienced cardiologist.

Dr. Ernest is a great doctor.
Dr. Ernest is a very informative doctor who will explain things to you and have a conversation about your health. He doesn’t just push prescriptions on you and send you out of his office, that’s rare.
