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 will push a prescription to bill more
Telehealth
Doctor pushed me to do vitamin blood work so he could prescribe me vitamin d on a follow up to bill me more. Avoid this doctor as he is a waste of your time and you will be up-coded to charge as much as possible for as little patient care as possible. I had a 5 minute phone call being billed for Moderate medical decision making level for 30 minutes. All I was prescribed was a vitamin D supplement that I tried to tell him to not prescribe. Avoid.

I'd give less than one star if that were an option
I've never encountered a more arrogant, condescending healthcare provider in my life. I am neurodivergent and it's one thing for strangers to mistake asking clarifying questions as being combative, but for a healthcare professional to whom I have disclosed that I am neurodivergent to behave as though I am attacking his credentials when I ask clarifying questions is appalling. If a doctor ever responds to your medical history and description of symptoms with 'I listened to you talk and talk, now you listen to ME' - RUN, do not walk, out of that office. Awful doctor. Wasted my time, barely spent 5 minutes in the exam room with me during my physical, didn't ask any questions about the symptoms I reported on my intake form during my physical or follow up, didn't answer any of my questions, after visit summary was entirely incorrect and he refused to correct it or discuss changes he made to my records, didn't order relevant blood work so now I have to get more bloodwork done.
