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 recently went to Dr. Fotso for an annual health review. Dr. Fotso is consistently thinking of my well-being in ways that sometimes I can't fathom! She is amazing in her diagnostic skills. In order to come to these diagnoses she asks questions, researches, etc. and gives me clear directions for next steps. My overall health is so much better - because of Dr. Fotso. Her staff is as kind as she is and very well-trained. I highly recommend Dr. Carmen Fotso!

Every experience I have with dr. Fotso is a great one. She always pays attention and she is honestly interested in my opinions on some treatments. Sometimes she reminds me that I need more cardio in my life and she’s right, when she says that to me I know she’s looking out for my health and being a healthy weight is so important. No joke, she’s the best doctor I’ve ever had. If you want a dr. That listens to you and doesn’t push unnecessary treatments call dr. Fotso. Also she is absolutely awesome at the health portal, and always messages me back within the day. Love her!!!!!!

I think she is very unprofessional and rude. As a doctor you don't insult a patient that chooses you to be their primary doctor. If you have weight issues and say something to doctor about the way she does business. the doctor does not tell the patient she can go to weight watchers when your weight was not apart of the conversation. very insulting for someone in that profession bed side manners is not appropriate.
