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 saw him recently for a rare condition. He indeed does have a nice/friendly nature. But when I tried to explain a specific situation in regards to my disease, it seemed ignored which ended up being the truth.I basically wasted months for nothing when I could have went somewhere else. I think he should listen and trust the patient because if he did that from the beginning, it would have saved me from needless procedures.

This was my first visit to Dr. Kovell. Dr Kovell has excellent people skills and immediately put me at easy by his friendly, attentive manner. He is focused, listens deeply, and explains things clearly. I felt I could be completely open and frank with him about all my concerns. I could not recommend him highly enough. Really one of the very best.
