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.

He got my daughter right in after she broker her collarbone playing soccer over the weekend. He discovered she needed surgery and was able to schedule her right away so her recovery could begin. He had great bedside manner and is apparent he puts his patient first. Amazing Doctor, amazing individual. We Couldn't be more pleased with our daughter's surgery and recovery.

He is an excellent doctor. He's extremely knowledgeable, but not afraid to admit and sent you to another specialist if he's not sure what's wrong.
