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.

Excellent experience
Dr. Kotler was patient and genuine. She took her time to explain and to check for understanding.

I feel so fortunate to have Dr. Kotler as my back/leg/elbow doctor! She is smart, thoughtful and caring, and how wonderful to have someone who can treat more than just one part of your body. She is a great listener and problem solver and explains everything clearly. She is everything we want in a doctor.

Dr. Kotler is wonderful!! She has a very calm and caring personality. She takes her time with you and really listens and addresses all your concerns. I have had chronic back pain for 4 years and after getting no where with orthopedics and not progressing in physical therapy. I decided it was time for a new Dr. just received an epidural steroid injection lower back a few days ago. I would not go anywhere else. You are in great hands!!
