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.

Slowing Down
He is slowing down, he is a legend at Cleveland Clinic, but now I wonder how he is at the age of 78. Last time I saw him in person, he did not review my chart, as he asked me if I had a rheumatological disease, and I said yes. I thought he should have remembered this, as I had had originally met him 4 years prior and told him this, as well as had at least 7 visits with him since. I think he should help the other doctors, but not have patients anymore.

He made me feel invalid. He did not listen to me, he cut me off while I was speaking. You could see him losing interest. The bedside manner was not good at all. All in all my visits were a complete waste of time.
