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.

Don't go
After waiting a while month, her secretary cancelled the last minute. The doctor requested only to see stage 4 patients. She's a surgeon, she said. Ok, that's where the money is. I couldn't believe she waited so long & was so callous and cold-hearted.

My Angel
During Covid , 2020, I was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer. You are never sure until after surgery but it was. I debated where I hoped to go to be treated but the only one who saw me right away, no excuses bringing my paper info, because of Covid other centers would not accept paper only digital requested , what I had was accepted by Dr. Rao. I saw her May 21 and surgery was June 9th. Her whole team were so supportive. She listens, you are given options, everything was explained more than once. Dr. Rao I am thankful for. Covid was a very difficult time with a stressful diagnosis, she made a difference.
