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.

Personable and highly knowledgeable
Amazing doctor, and he had a wealth of knowledge about each of my preexisting conditions. Extremely congenial and warm.

Terrible experience. Did not receive enough sedation and felt the colonoscopy pain. Was prescribed medication for constipation and my symptom is diarrhea. The medication reviews literally say sit by the toilet as it causes extreme diarrhea. He doesn’t listen to his patients. I have extreme stomach cramping and he wouldn’t give me anything for this. He told me to follow up with my PCP. There are medications for IBS-D but for some reason he wouldn’t prescribe them for me.
