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 suffering from severe anemia caused by a condition where I bled non-stop. I sought advice about potential treatment options, including the possibility of a hysterectomy. Rather than providing clear, evidence-based information, Dr. Andrews used fear tactics, stating that if I underwent a hysterectomy, “my bladder would fall out” and “my life would go sideways.” These words deeply alarmed me and left me hesitant to pursue further care. Unfortunately, I was later diagnosed with uterine cancer, which ultimately required a hysterectomy. I believe Dr. Andrews’s fear-mongering and lack of professional support contributed to a delay in my treatment, adding unnecessary stress and potentially worsening my condition. Patients rely on their doctors for accurate information and compassionate guidance, especially during vulnerable moments. I feel that Dr. Andrews’s conduct fell far short of these expectations and may put other patients at risk. Throughout the consultation, I attempted several times to ask questions and express my concerns, but I was repeatedly interrupted and not allowed to speak. Dr. [Name] steamrolled the conversation, leaving me no choice but to sit and listen as she dominated the discussion. This lack of professionalism and patient-centered care only compounded my distress.
