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.

Too much ego.
I've never seen such an egotistical doctor in my life. He was so busy ignoring me and my symptoms and telling me that I was wrong, he failed to realize that the e.r. tested the wrong sample. It couldn't possibly have been mine but he didn't actually care. He also humiliated me in front of the staff and other patients. I will never go to this hospital again unless I'm forced to go there because I'm unconscious and it was not my choice. I wouldn't want to take the chance of encountering this inept, overbearing, pompous egomaniac ever again.

The worst care I've ever got. I came to the ER because I was lightheaded for several days and today was not able to keep anything down. I have not seen the doctor until after all the tests were done and then, when he arrived, his opening statement was " I heard from the nurses what’s going on but I wanna hear it from you." I told him everything and his response was "I’m trying to figure this out because it doesn’t seem like an emergency and here we’re trying to get to the severe cases of an emergency." Basically telling me that I I am wasting his preciouses time.
