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 was excited to come to my 2 week post op appointment to see Dr. Barba. However, I didn't get to see him. His nurse took the appointment instead. I was not happy with that and down right broken hearted. I'm confident the nurse is qualified, I just feel that if I have an appointment with the doctor, that's who I should see.
