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.

Disappointed with Dr Lavaccare being Rushed
Dr. Lavaccare was in a very big hurry and raced through the performance of an EMG test on me. His directions to me during the test were very poor. At one point I was laying on the table and the Dr. started pushing my hand in a hurried way to which I responded am I supposed to be resisting. As the patient, I get one opportunity at that test and unfortunately he was the Dr testing that day. Sadly, I have little trust of Dr. Levaccare, and it is difficult to trust the results since he raced through the test. He was rapidly typing on the computer the entire time. He glanced at me when I arrived and told me where to put my belongings. Dr. Lavaccare looked me in the eye once when I asked him his name. He never asked me if I was able to lay on my side simply instructed me to do it. I’ve had this test twice before both those doctors looked me the eye, spoke to me before the test and made sure I was as comfortable as possible during the test. I felt like a number to Dr. L not a person.
