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.

TERRIBLE- AVOID
STAY AWAY -Please read my case below. I had my 2 big toe nail removals done with her and she said this was standard procedure with a week's recovery time and minimal discomfort. It has been over 5 weeks and both my toes are still actively bleeding and I am going into re-surgery with another Podiatrist. I called the office on multiple days right after surgery as I was in intense pain and was requesting help and wanting to come in so she can look at it, I was told to take maximum dose of OTC pain management and come back in 2 weeks. She also spilled acid all over my toes and I have burns now.She subsequently called me after 5 weeks when I logged a formal complaint in various forums and acknowledged that this was a procedure gone wrong or corner case as she called it. She promptly offered to share her direct line because I was filing complaints but never once spoke to me in the 5 weeks post surgery to call and check or come to the phone when I called.Do not risk your health with her.
