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.

Definitely would recommend him for your Doctor!

Excellent
Excellent doctor- he listens and laughs with you ! Yes, strict if you don’t listen to him and the girls in the office at Boardman were rude but since he moved downtown much better! Loved that he is downtown- when I was hospitalized he was right over in ER and he was right there every morning by 5 am to check on me .

Well... he’s technically A doctor. Its abundantly clear how much attention he paid (read - none) in school. His limited knowledge is extremely dated and hyperfocused on BMI, even for patients with low body fat. Picks and chooses which aspects of your health he wants to address - not the ones you came in for. Doesn’t seem to keep up to date with... well, anything. Wouldn’t want my loved ones seeing this provider. Does NOT accept telehealth visits (although his office is equipped to do them) because he can’t figure them out

Very condescending, accused me of taking medication that was not mine, even though he had the hospital records right in front of him showing the meds they gave me, saw his error but did not apologize, told me I had a large neck and blamed all my problems on sleep apnea even though I had been tested it, when I told him I had googled some symptoms he started making fun of me and called me Dr. Google. Another doctor found the cause of my symptoms, it was a reaction to one of the meds he prescribed

His nurses insult patients behind their back. Terrible experience. Go anywhere else. Also expect to wait hours before you are seen. Terrible people all around.
