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.

This Dr is kind and soft spoken. He does not push drugs unless he knows they work. I hear from the staff he is so anti drug company he does not even accept samples or free lunches from pharmaceutical companies. He wants to prescribe what is good for the patient not what the reps push and he takes no kick backs at all from these companies.

Do not even waste your time and money on this pathetic doctor who after five visits and paying out of pocket I had suffered needlessly because he had no experience in my diseasell. And finding out he was a prison doctor made perfect senese as that is what I feel he absolutely treated me like he wouldn't give me the medicine I know works and found out from a nurse or office worker on staff he only uses medicines from companies he gets paid for. This doctor sucks and should not be in business
