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.

Went to see him because I could not see my regular doctor due to insurance issues. He did a regular exam and then did a COVID test and prescribed me nothing for my respiratory issues even though my COVID results came back negative and I called back after all continuing to experience the same symptoms and spiking a low grade fever and he prescribed me a nasal allergy medication. Allergies don't cause you to have a fever. Would not recommend seeing this guy.

Had a pre-employment exam with him. I knew within 30 seconds that he was a looney tune. Very strange demeaner. At the end of the exam, he asked if i knew that i had a hernia. I was stunned and replied that i was not aware of it. He then removed his exam gloves and left the room, never returning or explaining the hernia. I had to call the clinic the next day to ask if i passed or failed the exam. i passed, so i assume he was joking. NOT FUNNY!!!!!!
