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.

Dr. Lissner is highly experienced and professional, with an easy confident attitude. He is a superb listener and clear communicator. I have tremendous confidence in his abilities and would not hesitate to benefit from his expertise again. I would also like to mention Dr. Lissner's assistant, Dan, who is extremely service-oriented, capable, and professional. Dr. Lissner and Dan make a wonderful team.
