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.

Wouldn't recommend
On my first and only visit he was quick, abrupt and seemed very uncomfortable with me. No clue why. I'm older and it was just a wellness check. He asked what I wanted. I had to suggest all the common items, such as checking cholesterol, and, at my age, a Dexa scan. It's been hard to get him to respond to requests for refills on my medication, as well. Every month I have to email, call and ask the pharmacy to call just for a regular prescription.

Rude and dissmissive
He literally forgot about me in the exam room. Said a nurse would come in and schedule something, but they never came. I finally walked out and the place was empty.

This was my first visit with Dr. Brar. Dr. Brar is stoic with little facial expression. He makes good eye contact and listens well. I have the impression he is intelligent and has a wide scope of knowledge of medicine. Personally, I don't need a lot of hand patting or nurturing, but for someone who does, a different doctor could be found.

Terrible
He clearly doesn't like being a doctor. Just glared at me the whole time.
