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.

This guy is a straight up jerk! I would not take my dog to him! I would NOT recommend him for anything!

If I could leave zero stars, I would. He’s rude and incredibly unprofessional. I’ve seen him a couple different times at Priority Care, and every time he’s in a huge rush and doesn’t take the time to listen to me. I don’t just go to the doctor for anything and he always makes me feel like I’m wasting his time.

Not very personable, stood in the door way instead of coming in until it was absolutely necessary, and continted to talk over me when I had any questions or tried to explain my symptoms. I'm not sure if it was a rough day, but he was very rude during my appointment. I would not recommend.
