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.

Had surgery this week. She did a wonderful job, no pain. Good doctor who is very knowledgeable.

She is the WORST. She is such a mean and ugly hearted woman. So rude and so condescending. Do NOT go to her. She needs to learn some compassion or she needs to exit healthcare as a whole. You enter healthcare to CARE.

Horrible doctor! She has no compassion and does not care about her patients well being, only about her pay check. I would never go to her.

I highly recommend this doctor. Easy to schedule appointments, great bedside manner, and takes time to answer all questions.

Would never recommend her. She stitched into my sciatica nerve during my hysterectomy and I had to go back into surgery to have stitches removed. It's been 3 years and I have been in pain every day since. On so many meds I can't even remember them all. And my lawyer said she didn't even do my surgery although she said she did. She was covering up for another surgeon. I live with pain everyday and she tried to blame it on a back problem - which I never had. She lied about many things.
