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.

When Dr. Saffa is not available - do NOT use his nurse practitioner. I recently visited her. She indicated that "she had never seen anything like this before" and yet went ahead and prescribed an ankle brace and exercises that made the ankle significantly worse. I discontinued her advice after 5 hours of increasing pain. When I called the office to report the matter, I was told that she handled this properly. very dissatisfied with her.
