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.

We saw Dr Gonzalez yesterday and the exam felt very rushed he didn't explain anything to us. And didn't let my daughter say what happened in her own words.Today I called his assistant to have him call me so I could ask him questions about what to look for so I could tell my daughter what she needs to tell us so we could let Dr. Gonzalez know. During the phone call he seem very irritated that I had questions and wanted clarification on things
