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 wish I could give him a no star rating. Very rude, disrespectful. Absolutely no bedside manners. treats patients like they are not worthy of his time. Will never use him again or refer anyone to him.

I would onto have him see anyone I loved. I used to like him but after today knowing I was coming in for refills and a brown recluse bite that my surgeon pointed out yesterday. He couldn’t see me yesterday so my 3 refills and checking the bite was scheduled together. He said it was to much on him and people like me put him in overload. Yes I let everyone there know why I wouldn’t be back bc that’s his job as a dr. Patient care comes first and not work over load. Schedule differently.

Has to be about the worst doctor I have ever met. He has the worst bed side manner. He acts like he could care less if you are there or not. I have only been there 2 times because I was looking for a personal physician but I will not be going back. His receptionist and nurses are great. I really don't know how he is still in business.

I have not been here yet, and I already want to change my mind. The people I talked to on the phone are very rude, insulting, and just completely disrespectful.

Dr. Fava is a wonderful doctor even though he's cold, rushes u & not personal. His BIGGESTproblem(literally) is a nurse named Ashley. All the other staff is wonderful, hardworking while Ashley sits hidden away(prob 4public safety)thank God! Shes rude to the staff n front of patients, cruel to patients, talks bad about them in front of office & hangs up on patients! His own family said he's lost patients cuz of her! Staff&patients pray she leaves so we'll have a DONT MISS YA party!

Kept interrupting me. My blood pressure is out of control and we never even spoke about it. I'm under a lot of stress and all he did was refer me off. What if I have a heart attack???
