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.

If I could give him a zero i would. The way this so called Dr. treated my 13 year old daughter is unprofessional and unacceptable. He continuously interrupted and talked over my daughter for the whole 5 min he was in the exam room with us. When we asked questions, we were told to go home and google it, as if we were wasting his time. She left his office in tears (walking). 1 week later my daughter is now on crutches in excruciating pain and he wont take 5 min out of his day to call us back.
