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.

Short wait, privacy, informative pleasant

A good visit
Although this visit didn't end well because of the beginning of an annoying style Dr. Shakin was extremely helpful and informative. I was also impressed by his very professional and efficient staff, a big asset to him.
