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 finally feel like I’m being listened to and cared about. She’s honest and understanding. You can tell she really cares about her patients.

Does not return calls to patients. Has no clue how to handle mental health but will be sure to bill you. Go to a walk in clinic rather than waste your time with her.

Dr. Kathryn Sallivanti is an excellent practitioner!! It's a shame that some of her staff are extremely rude. I feel like an overhaul is in order for the front desk. This should not reflect poorly on Dr Sallivanti. I was so nice when calling for an appointment and was made to feel like I was bothering the woman on the phone. We all have bad days but this was not the first time I had an experience like this. I am in the healthcare field as well. I understand it can be stressful , but I never take this out on my patients. Do Dr Sallivanti 5 stars SOME staff negative stars.

I was one of Dr Sallavantis first patient..She was amazing..I emphasize was. I have complex medical issues and she took care of each them with no issues. However in the past 3 months she has gotten busier, less friendly and frankly made mistakes. She had begun rushing through my appointments and then ordering meds that she knew I was allergic to. She has changed. She has a large practice now. I've parted with her. I wish those that stay the best.
