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.

Most caring doctor with knowledge, research, knowhow, and loyal to his patience. What are we going to do when he retires.

Stubborn man who does not take time to listen to your concerns and only listens to what he believes is a minor issue. Turns out genetics was able to diagnose me properly with a genetic mutation eds that this rheumatolgy Dr. should have found instead of shoving me off like it was in my head. Never again! He is also cortisone shot happy! Its his solution to all issues. Cortison worsens my eds so he harmed me due to his lack of care. He is NOT up to date with new clinical findings in rheumatolgy

Loves those cortisone shots...STAY AWAY,! Left a needle in my back while answering a phone call! Does not wash his hands between patients nor does he wear gloves while giving a injection...scary!
