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.

Condescending and Dismissive
She was dismissive of concerns and condescending. It would be difficult to prove; however, my child has noted brain damage that the neurologist said was most likely caused by decreased oxygenation during labor. This makes sense considering the labor was prolonged due to the size of my child. If Esther had actually listened to our concerns, this may have been avoided. Would not recommend her to anyone who hopes to have a voice in their care.

Would not go back
I found her to be confrontational and condescending. I would not return to her nor would I recommend her to anyone that is seeking a provider that treats you with respect and dignity. I would suggest compassion training and a reminder that not all patients are low intelligence.
