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.

Very friendly staff. I felt very comfortable the whole time. Dr. Was very professional & very attentive. A little discomfort from gas, which is expected. This facility runs very smoothly. I would definitely recommend Dr. Patel’s service and you will be very relaxed. Thank you to everyone involved with my experience!
