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.

I recently had my first visit as a new patient with Dr. Sugin. I was impressed with the Covid safety procedures in place in the office from the start to the end of my visit. The wait time to see the Dr was very short with only one or two other patients in the large waiting room. Dr. Sugin was professional while also being friendly and took time to explain her findings. She was very thorough with the exam as well. I’m happy to have found such a caring doctor right in my home town.
