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.

He insisted on getting his claws into my dying mother( later found he charged for every visit, trying to convince her to give up and die.) She called him the " death salesman". He lacks compassion and obviously gets rewarded by reducing hospital costs.

The young doctor Lopez we know is the one who over-medicated and killed our 92 yr old father in a nursing home, after committing him to the Alzheimer’s ward. Never learned people skills from his wonderful father, wonderful teacher.
