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.

Thorough & Knowledgeable!
Dr. Basu asked pertinent questions and came up with a timely plan to assess my symptoms. He also asked if I had any questions for him. I could tell he is a very knowledgeable physician. I was especially impressed with how he seemed to share his thoughts aloud as he was deciding on the best course of action. He spoke about the tests I had previously had and then explained what diagnostics he wanted to add to make sure nothing was overlooked or missed. I am thankful to have a doctor of his caliber in Decatur.

Wrong medicine
He SPECIFICALLY asked me why I was on a list of meds. I TOLD him I was bipolar. He puts me on a heart med that CAUSES depression! My regular Dr. was shocked. I also told him that my stress test ekg showed something about bundle block and they wouldn't let me take the treadmill stress test. I had the chemical test. I told him this and he said he didn't see it. My regular Dr ran an ekg and found it immediately. Also, his nurse is rude and uncaring.
