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. Koenig is an amazing doctor. He has been taking care of my 2 boys for 20 years. He is never overreactive when responding to a health issue. He is great at communicating information to both parents and patients. He likely saved my son's life by sending him to the right specialists for an accurate diagnosis.

I’ve been taking my son to Dr. Koenig since he was a newborn. Dr. Koenig is the best of the best! He is patient, kind, caring, and thorough. He has squeezed us in for an appointment every single time my son has been sick. Matter of fact, they waited for us once after closing time because my son was so sick and needed to be seen. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Koenig and his team. They genuinely care about their patients.

I have been bringing my children to Dr. Koenig for 19 years. He is patient, kind and takes the time to listen to your and your child’s concerns. I’m going to miss him when my kids turn 21!

Dr. K is unlike any other pediatrician you will encounter. In this age of hurry up and see the next patient, he completely disregards that politically-inspired behavior. He listens, he thoroughly explains. He really gets into his work-he is the ONLY doctor who has ever treated my kids as more than just patients-he talks about relevant kid-stuff with them and doesn't act as if they aren't in the room. He shares any and all knowledge with you-extremely smart and genuinely excited about his job.
