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.

Incredible
I went to visit this physician at his new office. First, the decor was beautiful, warm and refreshing secondly, his office staff was warm and cordial Third, Dr shenkman came out to the waiting room and personally introduced himself and thanked me for being a patient. Lastly , he was friendly, took a great interest in my own life and ensured all my questions were answered before I left. I highly recommend this physician and I did. I referred four friends of mine to consult with him
