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.

Amazing and caring
Dr. Moorthi, was recommended by Dr. Sardesai. What a perfect recommendation. Dr. Moorthi is a sweet, compassionate doctor. His bedside manner is the best. You can tell right away that he is looking out for your best interests. He is an amazing listener and a perfect example of what a great doctor should be. More doctors need to take notes from him. He is extremely knowledgeable and explains everything without making you feel dumb even if you ask questions that might seem silly. He is so warm and welcoming of all questions. I’m so thankful to call him my doctor. Anyone I know with kidney issues I recommend him right away. He is on a whole other level in the way he treats his patients.

Dr. Moorthi is one of the best and nicest doctors. He takes time with you to make sure you understand what's going on with your body. He also makes you feel very comfortable. As a side note, he has great penmanship - you can actually read his writing which is rare with doctors these days so there's no worry about chance of error from a pharmacy or test scheduling.
