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.

cold and uncompassionate
Telehealth
you will constantly be talked over and interrupted trying to discuss issues with her. no ifs ands or buts - if you start to try to explain things she'll basically paint you into being part of your own problems rather than just trying to convey what is wrong.while she will not beat around the bush, there is nothing compassionate or caring about her delivery of answers to problems and she will treat you like a problem to solve rather than a human being.i have no idea how she has so many 5 star ratings (though i find it suspicious that i see no written reviews), i'm actually shocked and appalled at this point because sites like these made me think i was going to get a good, caring, compassionate, understanding doctor who would listen to my needs and problems but what i got was the absolute opposite of someone who even set me up for lab tests that i didn't ask for that implied she was making crude judgements of my lifestyle and character.
