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.

Lacks empathy and active listening skills
Jump to conclusions before hearing all details/symptoms. Talked in circles, recommending procedures and then against the same. Defensive when my symptoms didn’t match expectations. Couldn’t admit they (stroke center) just didn’t have an answer for me.
