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.

arrogant, non compassionate physcian
Never once gave compassionate reassurance. Almost killed me due to his arrogance. He was too busy playing golf. He is not a team player with his care team. He will not take constructive criticism. He thinks he is a know it all god. He almost let me bleed to death because of his know it all attitude and not listening to others. I was scared! Can't wait to be out of his service. Will find a better team Dr and more caring urologist. One who knows how to listen and play better with peers and patient.
