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.

Dr. Pekman certainly earns the title of "specialist" in his field for good reason. I was told in urgent care I needed surgery on my hand and they referred me to an orthopedist. I made an appointment with Dr. Pekman and he immediately diagnosed my hand injury and gave a 100 fix without surgery! He is to the point, explains the "what and what nots" in a way I could understand them and is very kind.
