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.

Horrible experience in 60 years never have I met a Dr more uncaring in my life. My husband was a relatively new patient, was the for the 3rd time, after having 2 strokes, and he had forgotten one of his specialist Drs names, so he called me, his wife, to see who it was and when he called me, the Dr said to him that he is a grown man and should be handling his own business, at that time he was having problems due to the strokes remembering everything. After I was able to call the office to let them know that response to him was inappropriate, Judy, the office manager first asked if I had any witnesses this was said. When I told her yes, I was on the phone when he said it, she then started to defend the Dr saying he doesn't know everyone's history etc ..I then told her that is all of the more reason he shouldn't have said it, she threatened to complain to his insurance company about me and hung up on me, he never got an apology, we switched to a very good new doctor, that respects and cares about their patients. Then come to find out, he had put on his medical file, that my husband had dementia. Lies and disrespectful, I will warn everyone who will listen to stay away from this Dr. He is no good and only in it for the money. He doesn't care or try to even inform himself on patient history which was provided to them in the first visit

Not a DR I would recomend
After getting the runaround from him and his staff i would not see any of them if they were the last people on the planet. There is more to being a DR. than referring someone for referrals that are unnecessary and ignoring what the patent needs done.

Dr Dave is the WORST PCP I have EVER had. He does not listen or care whether you are OK or not. He cancels your medications without notice. His bedside manner is horrific and he should not be a licensed physician.

My mom goes to Dr.Dave and will not see anyone else. My mother was so sick and was going to so many different doctors. Nothing seems to be working till we met Dr.Dave. For everything he did for my mom we have nothing but highest respect for Dr.Dave. Office staff is great too. Thank You Dr.Dave. Because of you my mom is still with us.

I would not recommend this Dr. to anyone. He doesn’t listen to me when I try to talk to him or ask questions. I have NEVER BEEN SEEN at my appointment time. My average wait time is from my appointment time to when he comes to my room is 2hours! The last time I went there my appointment was for 9:20 am, he didnt get into the office until 10 am. and he had 3 other people scheduled for the same time! I have found another Dr. and not a minute too soon!

If a person says, 'When I stopped eating gluten, I stopped being sick, after 53 yrs'; a good doctor, will probably, CHART THAT, and HELP THEM, in case of all of the 'God Forbids' w/ 'Patient can not digest gluten'. Dr. Dave did not do that, in the year and a half, that I went to him. Although, I am 55 yrs old, he never recommended a mammogram, checked my bone density, nor questioned my menopausal status (need help). After 1 1/2 yrs, Dr Dave has informed me, of my actual weight. Period.

I have come back to Dr.Dave after I moved out of area. Believe me I am so so glad to have Dr.Dave as my doctor. He truly cares for his patients, I have seen so many doctors that are NOT TRULY there for you, either they do not have the time or they do not care to be really be involved! Dr.Dave is very straight forward.He tells you as it is ! He has plenty of personality for all of us!

This doctor does not care about his patients he wouldn't even change a medication for me before I had surgery. I would not be able to swallow this med after surgery he told me have the surgeon do it. I asked him a referral to surgeon he said he didnt want to get involvoled. He never answers your questions he's very lazy he has NO personality finding new dr

He doesn't listen to his patient. He wants you to try medication that you are allergic to so he can see the reaction himself, after he can see it on your medical chart for himself. He was quick to offer pain medication and anti depressant, when I needed an antibiotic and to be referred to my cardiologist and pulmonary doctors. He hasn't helped me and he has hindered my recovery.

My late husband died with respect and love for Dr.Dave who did just about anything in his power for 3 years to keep him with his family.My husband wanted to live very badly.He had Leukemia for 18 mos then was diagnosed w/stomach cancer and had 95% of stomach removed! Dr.Dave has been my doctor for over 20 yrs and he LISTENS to everything I tell him-then asks before I leave-Do you have any questions- Anything else on your mind? He TALKS to me not at me. His wife is very helpful, so is staff!
