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.

Way too much waiting, just there to chat
He talks over me every time I tried to get a word in regarding my condition. It also seemed like he didn't believe what I was telling him. He kept ordering inappropriate tests that has nothing to do with me. He really needs to know how to listen and trust the patient because I am not lying about myself. Also, I overheard another patient in the waiting room literally saying that he was only visiting this doctor 'to discuss politics' like seriously?! to take up space while patients who actually needs to be seen for their medical needs!? I have no intention of returning again. It's totally not worth the visit especially considering the ridiculous (never less than an hour ) waiting time in the lobby.

doesn't know how to listen, does his own thing
Majority of my visits with him, I felt very uncomfortable with his limited decision making skills based on what he didn't know about me. Despite me being a biological male, he kept ordering pregnancy tests in my bloodwork. First off, Im NOT a female. I was however born with an intersex variation but even so, he shouldn't have been doing this because I told him that I was ASEXUAL. Even if I was a female , I would never become something disgusting like that. So apparently everyone is assumed as sexual until proven otherwise?The treatment I had with the front desk staff nurses was similar because they kept referring me as a 'she' when I am a guy. It was too troublesome to continuously repeat myself. I was too naive at first because I didn't know what was going on in the background of my visits. I even saw that there was a totally off, non-cardiology related reason for visit on my insurance's website. He simply doesn't know how to listen to his patient. What kind of a safe space is this?

Even though he was a nice doctor who listened to me, I never got the follow up I needed from him or the office was unresponsive. I quit after trying multiple times. It was like he was all talk with no action...
