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.

Misdiagnosed my infective endocarditis as GERD and anxiety. I wouldn't trust this guy to diagnose a sneeze. He was also unbelievably rude, he even laughed at me when trying to explain my symptoms and medical history

Quick to diagnose bacterial food poison
After 4 days of complete misery of high temps of 105 and other symptoms where 3 visits to other clinics could not diagnose or run the correct tests, Dr Kella quickly ran appropriate tests and started me on meds he felt fit my symptoms that after only 1 day my fevers weee gone and 3 days later was back to normal. Good call!!!
