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.

Misdiagnosis of a Stroke Case - 0 Star
This is exactly the 3rd time I am writing this review which is not being published by the website. I will get to the bottom of this issue. Exactly on Feb 27 2021, I was admitted to the hospital for presenting all symptoms of stroke including inability to talk, numbness, vomiting etc and she refused to perform any imaging on me and dismissed me from ER with misdiagnosis of benign vertigo! After 48 hours it became apparent that this indeed was a brain stroke which led to life lasting deficit of hearing. She is a disgrace to healthcare system and dangerous in the position she has and has dangered my life and will continue to do so for her incompetency! She needs to resign or get fired from her role. She doesn't get any star!

I saw this doctor in the emergency room when I had Covid-19. After noticing I needed dental work, as I do not have dental insurance and am saving for care, she was rude, unprofessional and ran two tests on me for HIV. Her change in behavior occurred immediately after the mouth exam. Although I informed her of my reason for a broken front tooth. I am a disabled female who is not at risk for HIV. In spite of needing a breathing treatment, due to wheezing, I was released and told the waiting room is full of people who think they have Covid-19. This is a record of my treatment by Ms. Rudolf.
