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.

Aggressive and Too Fast
Aggressively quick examination. Just checking off boxes, not listening to a word you're saying outside of the questionnaire. Your medical history doesn't matter, right? Better keep your answer to a few words maximum or he'll talk over you. Don't even get me started on the physical exam part. Don't make one wrong move or take more than .02 seconds to process an instruction or question or you get a condescending 'Hello?' Sorry, it just felt unprofessional the whole time.

The receptionist is so rude, I miss going in every month for my appointment and being greeted by Julie. She always had a smile and a kind word. Dr. Faria failed big time when he let her go.

I called and was hung up on...so I went in the next day...the receptionist said she chose not to give me an appointment. Unbelievable experience, I felt like I was in the Twilight zone! Feel really sorry for her.
