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.

Worst ER Dr ever.
I have been diagnosed by my neurologist with epilepsy, I went into the ER after sleeping for 48 hours and confusion this is postictal that I've had before but never for so long. This Dr didn't spend two minutes with me, he walked out of the room while my daughter was still asking questions. He was completely dismissive, didn't listen, he was rude and unprofessional, he also changed my diagnosis which my neurologist was not happy about. As I read through the Dr notes it confirmed everything I said, he wrote that I had a migraine for 48 hours which I never said. He was the absolute worst uncaring Dr I've ever been to.

Dog Bite to my Face/ needed Plastic Surgery
Dr Cancel took the time to do what a Plastic Surgeon would do and saved me from having a terrible scar on my face..very talented Doctor and his young man who assisted him was also excellent!! Amazing treatment from this doctor in an emergency room was a great relief for me..can’t believe he was there that night..how lucky was I?? Thank you so very much!!

I came to the ER during a flare up with my systemic lupus. A very very painful condition. He told me that he didnt know what I wanted him to do for me as he wasn't a rhumatologist. I told him I knew that but it was 3:00 in the morning and I was in alot of pain. I couldnt even walk or sleep as my joints are so swollen and painful. He sarcastically said to me "ok, ill give you some morphine". He treated me as if I was just a junky trying to get a fix! Worst ER experience I have had in my life!!

I was recently seen by a Dr cancel at st Mary's hospital. I had fallen and broken my back and was in severe pain. He was the most uncaring unkind uncompassionate person I've ever met in my entire life. He diagnosed me with major depression and put in my chart that I was drug seeking which couldn't be farther from the truth. He must have gotten his degree from a cracker Jack box.

Fearful, bigoted trauma Doctor who caused more trauma than he helped. Also put medical information online about his assumptions and I now have to go through a process of having it removed. The worst medical experience of my 62 long years. I have never seen anything like it even as an Army Brat with Flight Surgeons as my earliest examples.
