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.

Very compassionate doctor who treats you as a person and seems concerned about what's going on in life and what you can do to improve your condition. He looks at the lifestyle and tells you how you can improve. Not just someone who writes prescriptions, he actually cares and tries to get to the root of patient's problems.

Very impressed. Nice to be treated as a person and not just a symptom. Felt like I was a part of my plan instead of just there to be tested.
