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.

Not very thorough , even annual physicals are nowhere near as complete as one would expect or receive from other physicians. I have the distinct impression that he cares more for the fees he can extract from you then he does for providing you proactive healthcare. His office staff leave a whole lot to be desired, they're about as ambitious as a log and as welcoming as a cold toilet seat.

If you are female do not expect to get any help with whatever health issue you have. You will be listened to while the DR. has a smirk on his face, and you will know at that very second that you will not get resolution or help with your medical problem. His staff are wonderful and very caring, they should work for someone who is as helpful as they are.

My mom was a long time patient. She went to him over over the summer not feeling well. After 2 weeks she went back, told her it was a virus. Instead of sending her for tests, he ignored the symptoms. She has advanced throat cancer. Would have been easier to treat if we knew over the summer. Stay away from this man. Useless, uncaring idiot.
