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.

Doctor addressed all my concerns and will highly recommend him

Absolutely phenomenal experience, Dr. Azarbal is the most caring, compassionate, and friendly Doctor I've ever had the honour of receiving care from.

Dr. Babak Azarbal was very thorough, composed with his delivery, brilliant, great with people, and compassionate. He addressed my concerns although I'm not quite clear why I experience pressure and tightness under my left nipple. He explained that adrenalin and excitement may cause pressure and tightness as he felt pressure and tightness when he got excited.
