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 came in Kings county emergency room obviously for an emergency Dr. Holcomb literally flew to my rescues and took immediate action with some much genuine concern and care! unfortunately later on in the week I had to return . I was assigned a new doctor that was kind of lazy and by the grace of god I seen Dr. Holcomb and I went to her voicing my concerns I don't know what she did but the ball started rolling . This women is dedicated , concerned and genuine and Kings county should be honored to have some one of such caliber working with them ! she gets a 10/10 from me!!

This doctor was not helpful she was unable to answer any of my questions pertaining to my care. She could even refer me to someone that could she lacked the major part of being a doctor and that would be the caring aspect. if you don't like what you do then you should not do it.

I saw this doctor she had horrible bedside manner/inconsiderate to the pain I was in. She had poor verbal skills seemed to be preoccupied with personal issues instead of focusing my care. Poor excuse for a doctor.

This doctor is incredible. I met her in the ER. She is so very patient, she really takes the time to explain. And she's very compassionate despite the workload. She is also extremely thorough, and very knowledgeable. I was almost discharged by another doctor but because she stepped in to check me, she discovered what was wrong with me and prevented my condition from going undiagnosed. Then she stayed on my case closely and never forgot me or ignored me.
