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.

Ok experience
While we appreciated that Dr. Lin was able to see our toddler and provided (hopefully) proper treatment immediately, it appeared that he didn't care much about our questions regarding the prognosis. He didn't provide clear answer on when to follow up as well as showing a strange attitude of this is just not a big deal. I think it is difficult for every parent to experience their child going through injury even though it was not life threatening. So, it would be better if he could understand that and explain more to ease parents' concerns.

Have doubt on procedure
My daughter got cast on her right hand. Hand look tilted on one side. I repeatedly asked about it from nurse but she said it is all good. Will see how it goes in couple of weeks but by looking at that hand posture makes me nervous.
