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.

Never in my lifetime I had a Dr. like this guy ,very explanatory knows his patients well,through him (God first) he discovered several health conditions which he conquered and recommended a specialist to take care of my prostate cancer in which I have been fine for nine years.I tell my wife every day that I hope he was still in rich. If you need a family doctor this is who you should call.

Highly unlikely
My 96 year old mother has no one to care for her. We found a very nice nursing home for her but Dr has not signed off on the paperwork to get her there. The nursing home said seeing the Dr once in a month was enough. He has seen her 3 times. Most negligent care of a patient who can’t help themselves.
