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.

Patient A
I’ve been seeing Dr Verges for a few years. She was a 2nd Dr for me and my conditions. She helped me understand my diseases better and went above and beyond to investigate me, including diagnostics to come to a definitive diagnosis. She helped me understand the disease and how it affects my body. I am very thankful for Dr Verges and her staff.

We had her for five years ,and no relief . Our new Dr. can not believe she was not able to help somebody with RA. We started with her in the early stages.

Dr. Verges takes her time and listens. She also is very careful to get a full understanding of the situation and order any necessary tests. She is very easy to talk to and has been a great resource.

Front desk gave me wrong information about my insurance, waited 45 minutes in the office before I was examined. Dr. did not provide accurate diagnosis or diagnostics. Makes me feel horrible after waiting almost 3 months for an appointment. Would not recommend.

Inaccurate diagnosis---that is the main thing..not to mention long wait time, staff rude entered into exam room while undressed. Made me feel very poorly and embarrassed. I do not recommend.
