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.

I consider This Physician as top notch . He follows up on your problems and runs a Clinic for your rehab. He meets with you and your staff and listens to your problems and attaboys with his staff. He meets with you every month and makes sure you are going in the right direction . Because of him and his staff after 3 months of rehab I was able to go out and play golf using a cart with a leg prothesis. Kudos to an excellent and caring Physician.
