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.

Avoid at all costs
This doctor is absolutely terrible and has 0 bedside manners. Avoid entirely and see someone else, as he will belittle you for asking questions and is very confrontational. His soft skills require a ton of work and needs re-education in this aspect. Also, his medical opinion does not seem to consider all the facts due to his refusal to listen to the facts, which makes it difficult to rely on it and his medical advice in general.
