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.

Dr. Michael's diagnosed me with klinefelters syndrome and gave me a life span of 50. I've got 3 years left and I'm feeling it. The man is honest, though I will fight for every day more.

My Fav
Dr.Michaels was my doctor until I moved to Arizona full time. I always felt he truly cared and took the time to explain things, never felt rushed and listened and really heard what you were saying. I have not found one in Arizona so far that has all the same qualities. I wish we could clone him. Lol.

Dr. Michaels and Jami both have taken the time to explain any questions I've had concerning my diagnosis. The office staff has always been incredibly helpful in any requests I've had. They are all informative. There have been times in office where I have waited to see the provider, but it has been well worth the wait... and tell me a doctor where you haven't had to! The phone system needs a little upgrade.. other than that it's excellent care and I love having the ability to use the portal!

Dr. Michaels can be extremely busy. Appointments are hard to make unless you want to wait over a month, the staff can be very rude and if you like to feel like someone is paying attention to you as a person/patient, not just another paying customer, then I wouldn't recommend going here.
