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.

Found Dr. Gonzalez a bit dry and impersonal in his style. At times, I did not know i he was talking to myself and my wife or if she was just mumbling to himself. Seems like his communication skills need work. Also, his demeanor towards one of the nurses put us off.
