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.

Look elsewhere
I was having some chest pains in his office and he said it was impossible without exertion. He had never heard of variant angina. Then looking at a CT scan I had done, he wanted to rush me to a surgeon as I had gallstones show up but I was asymptomatic. I went elsewhere. 2 years later and still doing fine.

I would not recommend this doctor. I had to fill out the same forms for the same information each time I visited (3 times). Even had the same information on their web site. Last visit, I waited 1 hour in the waiting room for my scheduled appointment and never got seen. No one was even around when I left. Not even a receptionist. Next time I tried to schedule an appointment, they told me it would be a 3 month wait. Is this a medical provider you would want?
