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.

My Mother
She was very unprofessional and rude, she didn't listen to my mother's needs. She was 25 minutes late for our appt and did not apologize for being late. Then we were rushed out. My mother's concerns were ignored and we were told we just have to trust her opinion. My mother is 71 yrs old and I am her caregiver. I have a nursing background and handler advice was wrong.

I wouldn't go to her if she was the last doctor on earth. Very arrogant and belittling. Talks down to you. Changes all meds then questions me about my blood work. Absolutely no bedside manner. Very cold and uncaring. I would give zero stars if that was an option.

Horrible doctor
She is very cold and narrow minded. Very much so talks down to her patients, and has no bedside manner. Does not listen fully. Makes many assumptions and doesnt listen well. Went on and on with me about something she didnt agree with. Was basically lecturing me and putting me down. She wrote horrible things about me in my notes. Since I was bothered with how she was acting and told her i dont need to be lectured. Never had a problem with any other doctor.

I feel that she always wants to make sure that her patients feel comfortable and will do what she can to help get you feeling your best. After 16 years I have no complaints about her being my primary Dr.

Probably the most narrow-minded doctor I've ever had. Prescribes medicine then wants to run you through a gamut of tests for the side effects. I'm not sure if this is entirely helpful of if she's guilty of medical piracy--the tests cost me thousands of dollars even after insurance. Find another doctor if you can.

Would not recommend. Cold, not friendly, smug. Rushed. Would suggest waiting for another physician.

I never feel rushed with Dr. Handler. She asks the right questions and she really listens. My feeling is that she treats he whole person- thinking carefully about your physical, mental and emotional health.
