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.

Dr. Was impressive
The first thing the Dr did was introduced himself and thanked me for showing up and allowing him to care for me. Later in the visit after discussing mediation, he said, and don't forget to tell yourself that you will be okay and that this will pass. With so many Dr's now a days not really treating the person. I really appreciated the visit and look forward to working with him.

Thank you!
They listened and looked at me. They knew right away that I had an inflammatory arthritis situation. I was oblivious. I’m so thankful that they caught this on my first visit! I look forward to seeing them in the future and getting the treatment I need.

My first visit and I felt he listened well.
I do not always feel doctors listen and take time with patients to understand needs and concerns. That was not the case with Dr. Alappatt.

Knowledgeable Efficient and Personable
Beautiful office, very clean and staff was very friendly. Check in was very quick, I didn’t even wait 2 minutes in the waiting room and I was 10 min early. Dr. Alappatt came right into the exam room, once the MA went over meds etc. He was very knowledgeable and knew almost immediately what was going on with me, after 8 years with no provider being able to get to the root of my symptoms. Thankfully he reviewed those years of photos, medical records and my current labs, along with my familial history and I was blown away with his proficiency. He didn’t rush me, took his time explaining, he listened to my questions, went over medication options, side effects etc., and made sure to have the MA provide me with even more patient education, and paperwork to take home explaining everything for my diagnosis and new medication. 10 out of 10, wonderful facility.

I tried this doctor twice, but switched away because he made me feel uncomfortable. He incorrectly diagnosed me with psoriatic arthritis, and prescribed me medicine in a really dangerous way (had me break pills that were not supposed to be broken!)
