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.

I have consulted with him for over 20 years. He is a very good and sympathetic listener and a very nice man. He's very competent in traditional, mainstream medicine and accepting of my use of natural vitamins and other supplements. He's a great guy who loves his work, and he gives his patients plenty of time.
