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.

Helpful and informative
Dr Yi gave me a thorough exam and listened to me. He ordered blood tests that diagnosed a new condition I was unaware of and ordered an MRI for assistance with a lumbar issue I have been dealing with. He calls me directly to share information. I would recommend him.

Absent and uncaring

Excellent bedside manners. I was prescribed a new migraine medication, Aimovig. I had a severe allergic reaction. He checked on me the next day and came up with a sound game plan for trying another new medication so if i have another ER related allergic reaction, it will not be as reactive.

Horrible doctor. Doesn’t listen to you. Doesn’t want to hear about the problems you’re having or your medical history. Doctor wants to over prescribe medication when clearly it’s way too much and then he will argue with you and belittle you. When I tried to explain my situation and the last neurologist I had he practically called me stupid.

Poor handling of pers. info., health history patients provide prior to appointment. Lack of regard for individual health health history and conditions. Almost as if he just does not want to know. Lack of interest in history/conditions/medications involving my GP and pain specialist. Disrespect for the professionalism of my other Drs. And care. None of my information in front of him, was clear he was not interested. Took everything I had to get there. Could not have done by self. Friend shocked

One of the worst doctors I've encountered. I'm not his patient but went with my father because it seemed he had another stroke. Before the doc stepped foot into the room he was talking about test results, no greeting nothing. Then he seemed annoyed when my dad asked questions and said there was nothing he could do to go back to primary doc and to pacify him recommended therapy. I was so upset and told my dad to plz never go to him again. Shouldve known when a friend was told he couldnt help her.
