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. Lifrak is the best doctor ever! He treats you with dignity and he respects your time. You aren't sitting in the waiting room for hours or in a treatment room waiting for hours. It's like going to an old family doctor. No getting undressed and waiting hours for someone to tell you what's wrong with you. He's honest and truly cares about his patients. He's so detailed and thorough in his explanation of your treatment that you leave there feeling like you were heard & are in very capable hands.

I had an appointment and the day of the appointment it was cancelled because he told them I didn't want to sit down to discuss with him a 2nd time that a 2nd opinion was needed about my test results which I found to be very disturbing and out of character as a dr you want what want no questions asked SMH all about those dollars $$$ he never answers the question you ask it's always a story behind it??????

Dr. Lifrak is one of the few doctors left who takes care of his patients all on his own, without having nurses do all the work for him. He is exceptional at explaining in detail and really takes the time with his patients. Best doctor ever!

I would definitely recommend him to others, he is very sympathetic towards his patients, very nice and easy to talk to. He is totally honest and does not keep anything back, he is very easy to please, he lets you know what is expected of you as you go thru the suboxone program.
