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.

Nothing but the best
Quick appointment. Doctor was quite thorough and detailed. Introduced to every member of family. Surgery went well. Home in four days. Communication was top notch with him. He doesn't mince words and explains things very frankly and directly. He makes it very easy to understand complex medical issues and terms.

About Me

care philosophy

To touch a human heart, to do something to it and then to watch it magically become better is an immense privilege. But to realize that my patients trust their lives on this privilege is sacred and as such they deserve nothing but the best from me.
