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.

Does not listen to patients
Was the first endocrinologist that I saw after being diagnosed with hypothyroidism, I had gained significant weight because of this condition even though I was eating a normal amount of food. She did not believe me at all and told her I needed to have proof before she would do any more testing on me. I felt like I was not listened to because of my weight, and when she did look over my bloodwork. It was bloodwork that had been done over a year ago at that point. Do not waste your time going to this person. All they will do is ignore your concerns.
