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.

I started seeing him 14 years ago. He has always been very thorough. Great bedside manner . If he sends you for many test its his knowledge something is going on and he gets to the bottom of it and treats it right away . The staff is always friendly and polite.

I wouldn’t recommend this Dr. He sends you for tons of blood tests every time you walk in the door.
