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.

I only wish I could give no stars (ignore one star). I have never had such a worse dr in all my life and I've been to a lot. I'm fairly new with him because my PC left and he recommended him. Boy what a mistake. From the beginning I noticed he just likes to talk to himself, I sat there listening to him ramble. All he wants to do is change all my medication's, even though I tell him they are helping me. He changed them without telling me and even refuses to give me a prescription. I hate him.

One of the worst doctors I've ever encountered! Was his patient for about 1 1/2 years, and he was always, dismissing symptoms. Never had time to listen and would never treat pain, EVER! Sent me to the same specialist 3 times, and they kept sending me back to him. Took 10 MONTHS for him to finally give me a diagnosis after I contacted his supervisor and they admitted to making a mistake with my care. Had my rights violated by ER's because of his incompetence, and the state won't do anything about
