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.

He repeatedly gives my brother in law refills for narcotics that aren't necessary. He also drinks alcohol with the narcotics and keeps asking for more. His daughter has tried to talk to him about this and he refused to talk to her.

Waiting for over an hour in the waiting room, over half an hour in the exam room. Spent less than 10 minutes with him. All doctors seem to be overbooked at Lakewood. They run you through like cattle, and they're so busy, they don't have time to care about anything but getting through the next patient.
