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.

Dr. Platzer hands down is one of the best doctors. She listens and is connected to you on every level. She makes you feel comfortable and at ease and takes everything you say seriously. I would recommend her (and have) to everyone I know.

She listened to me when another neurologist did not. Because she listened to me she ran the right tests that led to diagnosis and treatment options that I can live with and that are improving the quality of my life. I highly recommend Dr. Platzer to anyone with a suspected or diagnosed neurological disease.
