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.

Poor work ethic
He refused to see my little four year old daughter 3:00 in the morning, made us wait 4 hours in a slow ER for the morning doctor to arrive. My daughter had strep throat. The nurse did a strep-test, came back positive. All we needed was a prescription, but his work ethic is poor. I had another experience with this M.D. it was poor, huge ego, loves to brag and hear himself talk. Not impressed with this guy.
