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.

We had a bad experience.
What stood out in my visit was the lack of communication this office accomplishes. My insurance was charged over 1000 and I was charged 47.00. All I received in return is a prescription that was invalid. Very bad experience. I would not recommend this office. Please read the other Google reviews.

Best doctor I have ever me in all my 73 years. When he is not available he has a superior staff. His front office staff is equally warm and friendly.
