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.

Have been trying to get an appointment with them for 3 months. They can not seem to find any paperwork or my referal 9 times now. Phone staff are rude. Dont think I would ever trust there staff to do thier job right. Doctor may be great dont know but he needs to replace his office staff. I give up on them. If i die of cancer i hope my family goes after them because of the wait and non caring staff.

Dr Craig E. Fichandler is outstanding! After a horrible visit with another local Dr. I looked for a second opinion from Dr. Fichandler. I'm so glad I did. He spent time examining my issue and talked me through the whole process.
