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 am glad to see that this doctor retired. I was referred to her many years ago by my PCP who said "all the doctor's wives go to her.” I was expecting a top notch experience. Instead a received a little lady with poor bedside manner and cold hands. She began my pap smear and was really rough. It was so painful that I cried out and let her know. Her response was "well you have sex don't you?" Then, as she began her exam she pushed deep and painfully into my stomach. When I voiced my complaints about that, she responded by saying "it's too much fat." She did not solve the problem that I went to her for. Instead, I left her office in pain and humiliated. I told my PCP that he should never refer anyone else to her. When I spoke with his nurses, they were apologetic and said "oh honey, she's awful." We don't use her and we don't know why he seems patients to her. We'll refer you to who we see. This was my first and last visit. Glad she retired and won't make anyone else feel thIs way.
