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.

Takes 6 months to get an appointment then cancels
I had seen him twice. He released me to see as needed. I made an appointment a couple of years later as he instructed. The appointment was 6 months in advance. When it was a few weeks before appointment time, his staff called and cancelled my appointment because he was going on vacation. The reschedule was almost another 6 months out. About 2 weeks before the second appointment, his staff called and cancelled again and wanted to reschedule about 4 months out. Apparently, is patients are not that important to him.
