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.

Very personable and very professional
I was running late for my appointment and Dr. Degala still managed to squeeze me in even though he had a lot of patients and the office was very busy. My PCP had not coordinated the results from a test but he pushed to get the info so we could stay on track and was able to do a thorough review with me and provide good feedback and updates. Very personable and easy to interact with which can be a rare quality with some doctors and he clearly is very knowledgeable in his field. I appreciate being able to have access to high quality providers such as Dr. Degala who genuinely care about their patients and take an interest in them as a person and provide comfort and support for navigating the health challlenges that life sometimes throws at us.
