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.

Initial visit, she was very rude. I went to her because I was having chronic headaches and thought it might be sinus or allergies. Her assistant check my ears prior to her coming into the exam room and the first thing she said to me before SHE even examined me was "Why did you come to a ENT doctor?" (Where else would I start?) After looking up my nose and my mouth she stated that there was no evidence of allergies and that I needed to see a Neurologist. She recommended and ordered a Cat Scan. When I returned for the follow up visit, she told me that the Cat Scan confirmed that I did not have allergies but the scans had not been read for the brain. I told her that radiology said I should have results in 24 to 48 hours, she laughed and said, "Well, they lied." When I asked about a referral she told me that I needed to find my own Neurologist. What waste of time, I wish I have never gone to her. AND I STILL HAVE A HEADACHE!!!
