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.

I was seen appor. a month ago. myself and 3 doctors have tried to reach them and get a return phone call with NONE. His office has never returned my call. I am on a prescription that I don't know why with 10 refills. I would never go back to see him again if my life dependent on it

Horrible! Had some reports and a doctor referral but rather than try to figure out the problem, Dr. Oster was only interested in treating the symptoms. He disregarded my MD's diagnosis and said that he is leaning toward recommending anti-depressant rather than deal with the root of the illness. Just asked me about a problem that I had over 25 years ago that was resolved. He seems to go into left field. And he also wandered out of the room for 20 minutes without an explanation. I thought that he was going to look at my file but he didn't. Hecame back and just say that I had better things to do then talk to him which was strange. I waited 2 months for a referral to ID doctor. PLEASE find another doctor. Waste of time and degrading.

Dr Oster, did not have the knowledge about my situation that I had hoped. I went for my arm and he seemed more interested in my stomach.
