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.

Appointment was rushed
I just did an establish care visit and they hardly asked me anything about my medical history. The doctor told me I was healthy and that I just needed to go outside more…as someone who has worked in the medical field for 6 years I never felt so invalidated! He didn’t even ask what symptoms I was having or how long. Very invalidating and is quick to write any issues off as relating to just being a female!

This is the most caring and intelligent doctor

This doctor is the most caring and intelligent I've ever known. He listens and takes time with every patient. If you had a complaint about his staff, let him know because he'll rectify the problem immediately. I wish he were still here in Tampa. He's missed by many!! He's the greatest doctor ever!!!

The staff in this office is the most unprofessional and offensive I have ever encountered. I was sitting on the table wrapped in an old ripped sheet waiting for my exam listening to the staff talk trash about the test I was having done. Never been so offended.

The Doctor is okay, but some of his staff is horrendous, especially the so called manager she is rude and has no manners. When I was paying, she practically pulled my credt card off my hand and doesn't know the words sorry, please or thank you exist. I couldn't stand the way she was talking to the others girls. I think the Dr. Should rethink about getting rid of the personal that makes his name go bad.

I would NOT recommend this doctor! It's easy to get an appointment but now I know why. The doctor himself does not like to hear any suggestions or opinions u may have. The worst part is his staff! The incompetence of the people who work there I wouldn't trust to work at McDonald's! I had to come in the office 4 times & 3 calls just for them to get my phone # correct! God help you if you need a referral! Messing up 1 time would be fine but they mess it up EVERYTIME! I'm still waiting 9 months!
