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.

Dr. Opilka listened to my concerns & my health history very closely. Asked questions, & discussed options to address my issues. This was probably the best experience I have ever had with a physician -

Great doctor his Nurse Practitioners are really great they remember who you are and things about your medical history when most doctors only spend about 30 seconds with you they spend plenty of time with patients and make sure you understand everything.
