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.

Appointment cancelled day of appointment
I made an appointment with Dr Appleby but on the day of appt was told she wasn't taking new patients and given a new doctor. An hour and a half before the appointment they told me there wasn't enough time for my appointment. Serious disconnect.Dr Appleby comes highly recommended. And that is who I want to see.

She's the best!
She is a brilliant doctor and is very easy to talk to. She doesn't rush you and gives you plenty of time to ask all your questions. She is up to date on new medical information and an excellent diagnostician. Memorial Care is lucky to have her. I wish all doctors were like her but unfortunately they aren't.

SUCCINCT !!
Dr. Appleby returned from a medical leave and stepped up w/o missing a beat. She was fully informed on my recent cancer meds and reassured me of my great progress. She updated all activities since COVID confirming all vax and other specialties. And all the while makes me comfortable. She is the ultimate professional.

Dr. Svrdlan is kind, approachable, and professional. She helps me to feel at-ease and takes the time to listen to my concerns. I don't feel rushed like I have with some other physicians, but she is also efficient so that I'm not spending too much time at my appointment.

Excellent physician
Dr. Svrdlan is always prepared and on time when I visit for my annual physical, and for other visits as well. She had been proactive and scheduled my labs prior to my recent visit so that we could discuss the results. She followed up on prior issues and then made sure my prescription refills were sufficient until our next appointment. I very much appreciate that she takes the time and has a genuine interest in my care.
