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.

Took our 2 year old in with a bad cold and drainage from her eyes. We wanted to see if they could prescribe something better than we could get from over the counter. He prescribed eyedrops...eyedrops. In the past when our kids have had this happen it was because they had a bad sinus infection. It really pisses me off I have to fork over a couple hundred dollars to get the wrong diagnosis. Long story short. Didn't use the eyedrops. Drainage stopped a day or two later.

Won't follow up with you if you have a concern about your visit, only allows his PA to. His PA is incompetent.

I went to see him for pain on the right side of my head. Without exam of my head, he advised that I was probably getting shingles. He did not introduce himself when he entered the room and when he said to check back in a few days if rash occurs, he then left the room. I later checked with my own medical doctor and read the notes on my medical chart and there was no mention of shingles, just "scalp pain". I am totally unsatisfied with this physician and would not recommend him.
