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.

Holistic thinker. Sees patients as people with complex, dynamic systems that are interrelated. Is a problem-solver, not a problem-finder. Treats youth, adults, and elderly patients with humanity. Excellent listener, nonjudgmental, authentic. Is discerning with regard to tests/procedures/prescriptions she advises and does not use patients as a personal ATM machine. Respectfully responds and collaborates with patients to create a practical and affordable plan of care.

She was very rude and has no bedside manner. She was always in a rush every time I saw her. I got the feeling she didn’t care about any of my aliments.
