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 just think the world of him. He cares for patients. As the other person said he gave me my life back.

Dr. Drass has been prescribing my brother with Opioides for over 5 years. I'm sure he is addicted as if he does not have his medication with him he starts to withdrawl. What happened to weening patients off after the appropriate time frame. I'm sure he will always feel that he needs it because your intolerance for pain becomes heightened. This is not helping our opioid crisis in Altoona, PA
