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.

Not at all happy with his care approach
He saw my mother in nursing hone for dislocated shoulder. His solution was to just pump her full of more pain meds

Do not go here
Is nice the first visit, then you are rushed, dealing with angry people that are overworked. Long wait times, and then falsified drug tests? Just too much to deal with and the waiting room is extremely stressful.

Nope
This Dr. taught me that I will be judged. And it never pays to be a good person. Because in the end, if they don't like you, they will find a way to fire you.

Dr is never in the office. Lost my test results and had to pay for test again. Will make you schedule an office visit and pay the co pay for information that could have been communicated over the phone. Never follows up with lab work and lets prescriptions run out.
