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.

Grave concerns regarding this physician, he appeared impaired during my visit in the ED. He does not make eye contact nor directly spoke to me. I do not recommend going to any emergency department. He did send me home and informed me to drink 2 bottle of Mag Citrate because my issue was I had not had my morning BM; however, was called back later to be told my liver functions were 10x normal and that I needed to return. Was admitted for possible pancreatitis and then gallbladder removed next day
