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.

Overall positive experience
Although it was a bit of a wait, once I was seen I was very happy with Dr Retana. She apologized twice for keeping me waiting (not many doctors would do that. She listened to me and explained things that I had questions about. It was my first time seeing her and I would say it was a very positive experience.
