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.

Arrogant and doesn’t listen or seem to care. His goal seems to just send you home without providing necessary care. I was admitted at a different hospital later that evening. A terrible Dr.

Treated me like I had a drug addiction, did not treat my symptoms at ER and degraded me when I asked why I was not receiving proper care. Filing official report with the hospital in hopea that others don't have to feel this same level of cruelty.

I went into the ER for a kidney stone. My pain wasn't managed at all while I was there. I sat alone in pain for 95% of the 2 hours I was there. I saw him for a total of 3 minutes. He gave me some printouts on how to pass a stone and sent me on my way; pain still not managed, by the way. He didn't examine me or ask anything about me. I guess that's worth $1294.00 of his time. (That's separate from the $5200.00 bill from the ER) Moral of the story- help is for the rich. I would never recommend him or want to see him again. He did nothing.

If i could give 0 starts i would. We took my daughter to Riverton ER and he didn’t introduce himself. My daughter had a fever of over 100.6 for the last 2 days, she hadn’t had a wet diaper in over 12 hours, wasn’t eating or drinking, and very lethargic. He tested her for strep. Didn’t give her any fluids, she wasn’t connected to any monitors the whole time we were there. i felt like they could care less about the health of my daughter. I’m very unimpressed and would NEVER recommend him to anyone.

Worst Doctor experience. Brought my little boy into the Riverton ER. Doctor never even told us his name (we found out on the prescription he gave when we got home). My sons whole body was swollen and he dismissed it as the flu. He ignored us and dismissed everything, even when we told him we felt like some things weren't right. We gave him a urine sample but he didn't test it. We went to a different doctor the next day who told us it was a good thing we came in because we needed more testing done to find out what was going on because his kidneys weren't functioning properly! DO NOT recommend!!!

Poor excuse for a doctor. He is unethical. He made lies in my personal electronic records. He said things that did not happen. I have never been treated like that in my life.

Best doctor I've seen in awhile. Took the time to answer my questions and gave very detailed explanations. I actually wish he wasn't a ER doctor so that I could see him on a regular basis.
