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.

Very good experience
Staff are personable and professional.

He’s the best!
Dr. Gagel is very professional and also very caring and kind. He is direct and clear with information, and I never feel rushed—I feel like he genuinely cares about my health. I am very grateful to be his patient. The office staff are great. The young woman who got me ready for my visit was a jewel. Very concerned and on top of everything.
