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 went to Dr Covino's because of knee issues. I filled out all new paperwork. His asst. gave me a cortisone shot. After the shot, I asked if this would affect my blood sugar. He wasn't even aware I was diabetic because he simply did not look at my paperwork I just filled out! I ended up in the emergency rm. with a blood- sugar of almost 600 - well past stroke/death range! I asked him to write a letter stating what I was told by his office re my back affecting my knees. He refused- changed Dr.!
