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.

First consultation.
He was focused, patient and took the time to explain in details his answers to my questions. I felt heard and I look forward to being under his care for the issue I was referred for.

A fortunate and great experience
From our initial visit, I felt at ease and in good hands. The doctor’s experience, confidence and professionalism put me at ease. Before and after surgery, he was direct in response and very reassuring. The hospital sections and offices were very clean, the staff and attending were so kind and knowledgeable. Not a grouch or bad attitude among anyone in this circle and place.
