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.

Very caring
She actually does a physical exam! Very easy to talk to. I am sad she is retiring.

Excellent experience with My New Primary Care, Dr. Assefa. She was thorough & a very good listener. I feel positive I have made a great choice. Her Nurse was very helpful, informative & kind, which was a welcome change.
