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.

He saved my life!
Dr spent 35-45 min with me - my second appt since my appt in Dec 21- I had 99.1 block main artery. Stent placed. My numbers are now fantastic at 78 yrs. He says. Take your pills. (Never was a pill taker). He is fantastic. Love his education background!

Rushed visit and explained answers to questions with as little words possible. No bedside manner whatsoever. Couldn’t get out of the room fast enough.
