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.

Good doctor, needs better office staff
The doctor seems good, but trying to get his office to follow up with requesting medical records for a child is a nightmare. I’ve been calling for over 6 months for a child who needs medical care and no one seems to know how to do anything in the office. They have not followed up, and at this point, I may have to change his doctor, which means changing his insurance. This is extremely frustrating.

I saw him in urgent care. He knew what the problem was right away. After suffering for 9 days from the misdiagnosis of a different doctor, I finally had relief within 48 hours!
