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.

The office is old & the receptionist doesn't smile. The doctor is friendlier. They are using very old/outdated forms, and when I read the consent form before signing, it says, "I am aware that my procedure could cause sterility." I was only there to have a cyst removed on my back! This seemed rather unprofessional, so I didn't sign and waited to talk to the doctor. The reason I am giving only 3-stars is because while I was waiting, I realized just how very dirty & unsanitary her exam room was! Cardbpard boxes on a dirty floor, equipment with visible dust & hand prints on them, trash had not been emptied & the top of the trash can was ajar from the trash within. But more than that, what concerns me the most is that the sharps container is too full & some of the used sharps have are exposed and coming through the opening on the top!! This is what made me choose NOT to have the procedure I went in for!
