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.

We won't go anywhere else!
Dr. Maher genuinely cares about his patients. He is thorough, patient, personable and compassionate. My husband, son and I have been going to him for years and can't imagine seeing another doctor for our care.

I wanted this to be a positive experience for our son, we are not sick often so DR visits are uncomfortable for him. We walked in to the busy, understaffed wait room and immediately could "feel" the negative vibe in the air . Nobody smiled the entire time we were in the building!
