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.

Attentive & informative
I found Dr. Alfonso to be very "connected" to my concerns, adductor tendonitis. Her exam was thorough. Imaging was reviewed and discussed in depth. An action plan for recovery was established. Very pleased with the care I received.

Terrible bedside manner, very condescending, and to top off she is also argumentative. Not only was she rude to a patient she was rude to the parents, and embarrassingly raised her voice to family members in the hallway of the hospital.
