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.

Horrible doctor and practice. Had to explain every time I went I had pain doc who prescribed me pain meds so I Did NOT need them from him and he still would imply im a junkie looking for a fix even though I refused meds from him. I left crying and angry at my treatment. Not everyone who gets meds from a specialist is a junkie!! You don't deserve to be treated like that from some who supposed to be your primary doc!!! Beware all!!!!
