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.

One of the good ones
Been seeing Dr Herwitz for years. He listens to all of my concerns and appointments never feel rushed. No matter how perplexing my symptoms are, he never gives up in trying to figure it out. Office is run in a timely manner. This Dr is one of the greats.

My husband is quite elderly and didn't expect much interest in his somewhat typical symptoms at his age, but he felt so cared for that he couldn't be more satisfied.

I called today 09/05/2018 and tried to schedule an appointment, then I get the run around that I cannot without a referral. I do not have a primary care physician, but I know what I am looking for. On Cigna App it shows accepting new patients, but I guess they are not.. Then I said it shows Internal Medicine online, and the lady on the phone tells me that the doctor is not Internal Medicine. I do not complain and write reviews normally, but when somebody lies to me then I must let people know.
