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.

First Visit
He diagnosed conditions that the other doctors missed, and explained them to me. Ordered some tests to understand them better. First doctor to address why I can’t breath, and explain the condition.

A zero really
This doctor had horrible bedside manner and gaslit the whole appointment. He also wanted to blame everything on COVID and my weight. That’s all this doctor could focus on. When he was challenged about me being sick before COVID and the weight gain from my symptoms he stuttered and back tracked. Wouldn’t prescribe oxygen unless my level was 88, saw me drop to 89 and made me sit down. Was rude, disrespectful, and cocky. Remember you are your own advocate and doctors are “practicing medicine” they don’t have all the answers. I plan on speaking to my insurance and Tennova about this.

Sadly, this Doctor was almost of no help for me. His treatment was lacking at best. Plus, he OVER charged me and charged for services he did not perform! I will not be back.
