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.

Terrible ER doctor. I went to ER, was bleeding out. He did not examine me. Told me "heavy periods are not an emergency" sent me home. Had to come back 2 days later by ambulance. I almost died of blood loss. I had to have a major transfusion and emergency surgery. If he had helped me when I came the first of 3 times to get help, I wouldn't have had to go through so much trauma. He talks down to women and does not take them seriously. He also seems to be lazy about his job and does not care about the patient enough to even examine them. If you are in Javon Bae ER and get stuck with him, ask for someone else.

Dr. Shaffer is an extremely uneducated human. He was not only rude and accused me of lying that I had a stroke...he belittled be for false information. He never admitted his mistake. ..just blamed it on the nurse. He misdiagnosed me because he assumed I was there looking for narcotics. I was dressed in my pj's because I am partially disabled and he laughed at me when I said I can't care for myself at times. He treated me lower then a human should be treated. He also called me poor lower class.
