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.

Bad office staff and bad doctor
The Worst service ever received. Staff is very rude and the doctor has not empathy for his patients with autism.

Nowhere Else to Go
This is the tragedy for our surrounding communities. This Dr. Should retire. Horrible experiences for my 12 year old. Dr. made assumptions about my son without even talking to him. The PA was great and very respectful towards us. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS DOCTOR… but we are left without options. I hate that I have to go back but I do it for the health of my son. I made sure that we would never see his face again. Oh and be prepared to wait 4 hours to be seen. That is how badly organized this office is.

Horrible place. Receptionist are very rude and unprofessional. They don't wear mask nor implement safety majors during the pandemic. A liability. Clearly they do not care at all about their business and definitely about the patients. A plus, I was denied to go to the restroom even though I was a client. I wasn't allowed to change my son's diaper all the time I was there. Was told only for staff, patients have to go before or after appointment.

I arrived at 10:30am our appointment was at 11am we were not seen until AFTER 4PM. At around 2pm I went to speak with the receptionist about how much longer it would be because people who arrived after me were coming AND going before I was even seen! She told me that "this is normal, because I'm a first time patient" I also asked how they could possibly think it was acceptable to keep kids here for that amount of wait without any food or drinks (as the sign in the waiting area states)

If you don't mind sitting in his waiting room for 3 hours, I guess he's ok.
