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. Terlizzi is a wonderful doctor. Professional, down to earth and receptive to patients needs and situations. He will take the time listen to any questions you are concerned about and give you a considered response, not a robotic one. The staff is courteous, friendly, cohesive and involved in making patients comfortable, relaxed and confident, whether your visit is for a procedure or follow - up, you feel that everyone has your welfare as their objective.
