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.

Definitely not what I expect from MD Anderson
This was a new patient, first visit. I was shocked at the lack of professionalism, compassion and manners of Dr Arun. She refused to let me get a question out and continued to talk over me. She lowered her mask, wiped her nose with bare hands, and did not wash hands before examination. She did not take notes or even open the computer. Then when I read her 'notes' there was a lot of inaccurate information included. I am still in shock over this visit.
