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 tried telling me it’s my neck- not sinus problem. I’ve had several ct scans which show maxillary sinus mucosal disease & paranasal sinusitis. She tried telling me my face, nose n ear pain was from my neck muscles. Not professional

One of the worst experiences with a doctor I’ve ever had. I was in her office for less than two minutes. I explained my symptoms, she looked in my ear and told me I didn’t have an ear infection (which my GP already told me) and then told me she couldn’t help me. A week later I received a bill for $229.00.

Dr Durkin was not sympathetic to my 13 year old's condition. She used technical medical terms which we could not understand. After the exam, she suggested that there was nothing medically wrong with my child, but increasing her activity would help. She did not make any other recommendations on other doctors or tests to have done next. It is 8 weeks later, and we finally have a diagnosis and treatment plan through PT, which we discovered on our own. Do not waste your time and money she is awful!

Bilateral paralysis of my vocal cords after my thyroid surgery leaving me with a permanently compromised airway and speech at 28 years old. Didn't show much compassion or concern after leaving me with a tracheotomy for almost 3 months either.

While in the waiting room, overhead a discussion that Dr. Durkin would be late. First appointment of the day and she didn't walk into the exam room until half an hour after my appointment time. She seemed rushed, inattentive and almost annoyed at my questions. She didn't offer any remedies for my concerns. I walked away feeling like I wasted my time and money in seeing a specialist.
