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.

Dr Valovska is truly extraordinary. She thinks outside the box and is very compassionate. I have had severe pain and disability for over a decade. She examined me and in my first appointment discovered an entrapment no one ever had discovered or even considered! My life is so much better because of her! One of the best doctors I have ever seen.

Horrible!! She won't listen to me all she wants to do is stick needles in my back to block my excruciating pain and suffering from a botched surgery by Dr.lenoid kotkin urologist. Since the covid 19 I haven't met her in person yet! She's left me hanging twice without my lyrica for my never damage. On memorial day and the 4th of July weekends. She lies to me saying she sent them and that they must have gone to the wrong pharmacy. I've got a severe case of pudendal neuralgia/pelvic nerve damage entrapment and pelvic floor disorder nerve damage entrapment. I've been in excruciating pain and suffering for 3 years. She won't give me any OPIOIDS to ease the pain. She's a horrible person and doctor. I don't even think that I should see her in person.

There is no way to communicate with her, her staff is rude and incompetent - they don't convey messages at all. Good luck getting an appointment with her in a timely fashion. The earliest one gets is usually 3 months out, so if you're in pain, rush to the ER.

Critical to all patient care, there is no way to communicate with this doctor when not in front of her. Have a bad reaction to a medication? You are going to the ER.

Dr Valovska helped with my pelvic pain significantly. I wish I saw her 10 years ago when my pain started!

I brought my 90 year old mother to Dr Valovska for a neuralgia that severly affects her quality of life daily! Dr V has ZERO bedside manner, she does NOT listen to my mothers concerns and appears not to care. She does her "thing" and sends you on your way with absolutely NO follow-up. I would not recommend Assisa Valovska to anyone. Getting an appointment with her is difficult and she, along with her office staff do NOT care!

Dr. Valovska is an amazing doctor who helped my daughter when no doctor in our home state of Maine could! My daughter is able to live like a 19 yr old should instead of being curled up in a ball of pain and hardly ever leaving her bed! Thank you Dr. Valovska for everything you have done for Shyanne! Your patience, encouragement, knowledge, kindness, and love have all been helpful! You truly are an amazing woman!
