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 thorough exam; knowledgeable and caring!
Dr. Cimera’s concern was obvious. He spent a lot of time with me. An excellent suggestion was made and I will be following up immediately.Dr. Cimera is a rare find.

Highly recommended
He seems to be a competent doctor. I just moved from NY to Florida and, it is my opinion, that in Florida it is difficult to find good restaurants and competent doctors. Dr. Cimera listened to my health complains without rushing me out.

Doesn’t spend enough time with patients
Clearly knowledgeable doctor but barely spent any time with me each visit and tried a very general plan to alleviate my headaches that should’ve been more focused on my specific issues instead.

Appointment scheduled for 9am. Doctor? A NO SHOW
Office staff was incredibly rude. Was told at 9:30 that “Dr.” Cimera WASNT EVEN IN THE OFFICE YET. No time frame for his arrival 30 minutes past my appointment time. Was told by very rude young lady with braids that she didn’t care and then laughed because I was frustrated. DO NOT LET THESE PEOPLE TREAT YOU.

I would NEVER recommend this Dr. Am waiting 6 days to hear results of a brain test. He doesn't return phone calls. There are plenty of other doctors out there.
