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.

Disappointing
I have seen her a few times and she was OK. Didn’t provide any advice except offer a one sentence solution, which I already explained I tried different things and nothing was working. The last visit I had, she told me to “take a walk” and didn’t ask any additional questions to dig deeper or recommend additional testing or referral(s) to address my concerns and symptoms. Her nurses are really a great group of women, patients are extremely fortunate. But there is one older, short front desk woman that seemed to not enjoy her job. I’ve only seen her a few times but have never seen her smile.
