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 would recommend Dr. Aponte without hesitation for anyone looking for a new Dr. He has been my primary care physician for 15 years plus. He listens to what you say, he is thorough, and uses a natural approach when possible. I always feel he acts in my best interest.

This Doctor is one of the most knowledgeable practitioners on the East End. Dr Aponte is board certified and practices Functional Medicine, if you are seeking a wellness approach he offers a wealth of information and compassion. I am grateful he is part of Southampton Hospital Wellness Institute.

A huge disappointment. He was more interested in coming up with a diagnosis and prescribing meds, than he was in truly figuring out what was wrong... Far from a functional med/holistic practitioner....in fact, quite the opposite.
