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.

Dr Colom has been my PCP for years. I think the care I get is great. He gives you the information that is needed with no spin. He is a great physician and I trust his judgement and diagnosis.

I have gone to this doctor multiple times and personally know others have as well. None of us have anything great to say about Dr Colom. If you are outside of what he thinks is healthy and believes you aren’t putting in the effort he will play the blame game but not instruct you on how to help yourself. He will also give you old school gendered career advice. His poor bedside manner will cause a suicide one day. There is a time and place for everything, being talked down to mid exam isn’t it.

I was Dr Colom's patient for many years. I will not ever be returning to see him again the way I was treated on my last visit. I went to see him for a medical condition. He called me to his office, he raised his voice and said I was fat Not only was I fat, he said I was obested. I got so choked up and then he said in a nasty tone, "Oh, Maureen, what are you depressed too. He should retire
