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 Halper is a kind, caring physician that takes times with each patient including getting to know the patient very well. She is extremely organized, polite, and her follow-up is unsurpassed. She has handled my case so carefully that at 71 I'm so proud to recommend her. In fact, my daughters see her as well and have the same very great opinion of her professional strengths. I highly recommend Dr. Ruby Halper.
