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.

Dr. Oliff is a very bright, logical thinker. He is honest and not going to “sell” you on a costly over-treatment. He is very compassionate. Overall I feel that he is an excellent physician.

In 2003 I had leukemia and dr Oliff treated me for it. I had issues with depression for about ten years before that. I became very depressed when I was in the hospital. I got a second opinion and that doctor told me that 90% of patients with this type of leukemia are in remission after 5 years. Dr Oliff didn’t tell me that. When I asked him why, he said he didn’t want to give his patients hope. I would not recommend him if you have depression or anxiety issues or if you think you might have such issues, especially if you have cancer. I’m fine now and cancer free.

Dr. Oliff. Is a wonderful doctor who displays concern and compassion for the patients he treats. He is well versed in hematology and engages this patient in discussion of treatment trends and research. He has collaborated with other doctors I see in a highly professional manner.. Dr. Oliff is genuine and has an excellent bedside manner. He has gone above and beyond for me many times over the years he has treated me.
