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.

Yelled at me
Dr. Paturi berated me and yelled at me in front of my children. And spoke negatively about me to her staff in the hallway. Because I used their ap over time to let her know various symptoms I was having, and we changed my medicine. That is the only reason I can deduce as to why she would be so unkind to me- If you are struggling with an illness, it is probably not best to go here, for care. Unfortunately.

Had me scared to Death
Dr. Paturi needs to hear her patients. My thyroid was removed in Jan with Stage 1 Papillary cancer. I have clear margins and no lymph node involvement. I listen to my body. She wants me to do the atomic cocktail. My oncologist feels that the cocktail would not be appropriate for me right now. My levothyroxine dosage started at 137mcg then dropped to 100 mcg which she claimed was a 'clerical error'. She then moved me up to 150 mcg in less than a month and is now pushing me to do 200 mcg. I am 71 years old and feel like my body is being taxed with this jumping around she is doing. Not to.mention her handling of the 'cocktail' scares the living kajeebies out of me. Telling me it could hurt my pets and little kids. Why am I going to subject myself to that? I'm getting another opinion. My life depends on it. This is my second rodeo with cancer. I survived metastatic breast cancer.
