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.

Cody has been with Dr Fadda since he was a baby. He is now 36 years old. His single kidney eGFR is @ 28%. I’m very disappointed that our appointment was cut short- I have so many questions and I felt like I was dismissed and brushed off till next appointment. I’m not pleased and will be seeking a 2nd opinion for this process.
