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 went in for vomiting and diarrhea. I was told I have a sinus infection. I have no noticeable sinus congestion or drip. I asked for a flu test and was told I don't have the flu because I didn't present with a fever. This is the diagnosis of someone who couldn't care less about how I'm feeling and much more concerned with getting me out of the office.

I went in for neck/back pain, he told me I was faking the injury. Then, he called me after I left and said to come back because they saw an abnormality on my neck xray which was possibly a fracture. Will never go back to Pelican, especially if he's there.
