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.

Hysterectomy
Dr. Song was very helpful and explained everything to thoroughly. She eased my mind and help me with ovarian cysts and hysterectomy options. She is very kind and would recommend her care.

Excellent diagnostician; compassionate physician
Dr. Song paid attention to my complaint. When the standard treatment proved ineffective she found another, more effective treatment. She also diagnosed an untreated complication, confirmed her diagnosis with lab tests, and prescribed treatment for it. Thank you Dr. Song.

Just doesn’t care
Dr. Song does not care about the well-being of mother or baby. I had an issue with my placenta and she had the nerve to tell me “It’s just something that happens” when I asked for more info/a game plan to get this baby here safely. I ended up have to be induced immediately following an NST that my new provider requested for me. Thank goodness I switched doctors late in my pregnancy. Dr. Song wasn’t interested in monitoring the issue at all. If I hadn’t switched doctors my baby might not have made it. If you are getting a routine exam, then she will do if no one else is available. Other than that, just go elsewhere.

Rude to others
Was in the room watching her talk to the other employees in a rude and unprofessional manner. Degrading them. Very unprofessional.
