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.

It took over a month to get in to see her but after that was much faster to schedule appointments. She didn't make me a surgical patient like the other gastroenterologist (who found nothing). We discussed food and symptoms and was able to calm my problems. I now live in another state and I'm considering flying back up to see her because of how great she was.

Terrible bedside manor. Insulting and rude. Actually cancelled a procedure and went somewhere else so I wouldn't have to deal with her. She scarred me.
