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.

A Dr who cares
Dr. Pestka sits down and takes to you and cares about what you are going through. She got me answers that I've been needing for years. She knew I was suffering and was determined to find the causes and she did. I really like her.

I WOULD FOLLOW HER ANYWHERE BECAUSE SHE IS THE BEST.
